in light of such vivid dreams in the past few days, needless to day i've been on an emotional and apparently subconscious roller-coaster in terms of my future career and the future of my heart.
dreams are visions of events that we'd most likely want to happen. i think they are visions of our subconscious thoughts surfacing and interacting with our conscious and those 2 trying to all have it make sense. im sure as most of you have noticed that your dreams make you extremely more confused than provide any sense of clarity.
dreams for our future are the ones we hold near to us ... this differs from a fantasy (e.g. fancy cars, expensive things, big houses, gorgeous significant other). our biggest dream for ourself is the one that is suppose to yield us the most happiness ... as if turning our dream into reality translates into fulfilling our purpose in life. (wow that was a lofty thought). as we mature and grow older, we realize these dreams dont always come true, in fact, it's most likely entirely different from what you imagined for yourself. i believe those who do make their dreams come true has most likely told reality to go F--- itself at one point or another... esp when it seemed as though life had turned its back on them ... resulting in a huge influx of determination and allowing them to surmount this seemingly trivial spat. i imagine those life-winners not even glancing back at those who said they couldnt.
yeah, that'll be me one day. just u watch: dreams do come true.

back in high school, we had to read "the great gatsby" (who didn't), and do a quick presentation on an assigned topic. this one girl's presentation (on how gatsby chased his dream... and in some way chased it in vain) particularly caught my eye because 1.) she was hella foine and 2.) because of the theme she lead off with: "dreams are better than dreams fulfilled." i've have that quote in my head for the last 10 years. so while i still hope and dream and treasure my dreams, the quote reminds me that sometimes the reality of a dream come true doesn't live up to the hype of the idea of a dream; however the resulting reality isn't so bad if you take a step back...
ReplyDelete... after all, i'd rather be an active participant in reality than a passive observer in a dream any day.
ok, i can't believe i typed all that up this early in the morning at work. here's hoping you have a good day, best friend, and may all your dreams come true.
