Dreams
hold the essence of our potential. They are our future shown to us in the night
but only to be forgotten when we awake. There has been thousands of words,
seminars and teachings written and expressed over the reasons we dream, why we
should follow our dreams, if you should take to studying what you dream or
perhaps venture out onto a dream time journey into another civilization to find
your dream world. There are also many forms of dreaming and just as many ways
to remembering what you dream and how to record them. I wish not to talk about
a known method but of "Moemoeà" the maori verb meaning
to have a dream or a vision.
Often when we dream during our sleeping hours what we dream of doing or
being is not really very clear to us. Yet if we follow the symbols and whispers
given to achieving the unknown goals shown which often lie dormant deep within
ourselves; just waiting to be brought to life, then perhaps dreams do really
come true. Do you need to get someone to translate then your dreams for
you to reach that pot of gold?
Daydreams are the seeing of today’s reality from another perspective in
the now. It shows us that time is but an illusion and focusing on only one
solution is not the way to being open to more than one answer. Do you
search for the index to them in scared texts then?
Dreaming of change, dreaming of wanting something different, dreaming of
a better future is the inner wish for living a life worth something. Should you
find the key to the door to your dream world and future on a psychiatric couch
then?
Dreams are the expression of our inner world being manifested in the
future. When they become real they are then being lived in the present. To find
these dreams do you need to extract yourself from modern society?
Daring to dream and then doing something with them requires nothing but
a smidgen of courage in following through your own desires, hopes and wishes
for working on yourself. For allowing that which you visualize to become more
than just a pipe dream. For knowing and understanding that every thought, be it
conscious or not, is the beginning of reality not yet placed into solid form.
It is the start of having an awakened dream. A dream that is plausible. A
dream, which you, can set into motion. A dream, which can be given further, if
you yourself are not able to bring it about. A dream, which has an immense
hidden potential.
What is important to remember about dreams are they are a single persons
vision. If they become a shared vision it is because that one person was able
to communicate the power held within that dream. This cannot always be
something that is viewed as healthy, good or even helpful to mankind. I would
term this form of dream more a nightmare. We have often through history seen
the destruction created, of one woman or mans dream gone extremely wrong, on a
large plain. Yet the opposite also applies in the passionate expression of a
single dream of hope becoming the catalyst for immense positive change on a
universal scale. For the nightmare was shattered into fragments of stardust
upon which we could then take a wish into a better future!
Dreams
stir a centuries old feeling of growing beyond that which we are into something
magnificent. All encompassing. The expansion of ourselves, on a grander
version, of that which we are now. That is good so, for it makes us test our
limits and step beyond them. It also keeps us awake to challenging ourselves.
What we need to do though is take time to dream. Sadly it seems we have
forgotten this.
We have through the social media, through institutions and various
establishments began to lose the knowledge of being not only able to dream but
also being self-responsible for dreaming. That is why I asked above, if by the
various forms of dreaming, you need outside help to knowing what you dream,
understanding it and taking action. I believe not. Dreams are not to be feared.
They are to be treasured and held tenderly with care. You need just to
understand we as humans have always had hope for reaching beyond that which we
know. We have a curiosity to see and experience other ways of living. We desire
a higher level of existence for ourselves as part of our natural evolutionary
evolvement in surviving extinction. So dreaming is a way of searching for
solutions. Reaching out to working through various scenarios. Solving obstacles
that seem unsolvable. It is the reason we dare to dream.
To dream is to expand that which you are. To dream is to hope for more
than you have in today’s world. To dream is to give yourself the ability to
change, develop and grow into a better version of that which you are today.
Dreaming allows space for you to live in the present moment with the
happiness of knowing there is nowhere better to be than here now, for it is
taking you into a glorious future.
