In as much as they are abstract, unconscious, and pretty much messed up collages of things lived, heard, thought, feared, and/or expected Iād rather not give them too much thought.</p>\n<p>If dreams trouble us too much, if they haunt us, and we can find a good psychiatrist capable of making sense of them and give us peace, then they may have all the importance in the world.</p>\n<p>Regarding the second kind of dream, of course, they should be the compass that will lead us into the future. Without dreams or aspirations we are not much better than any other creature on earth. Every person has the capacity to conceive dreams or aspirations; turning them into a reality is a different story, one that depends on many factors. Some would argue all those factors can be resumed in one: YOU. Others would say that regardless of our determination, if environmental elements prevail there is not much we can do.</p>\n<p>Some beautiful dreams never see fruition, at least during the lifetime of the dreamer. Sometimes other people end up materializing on someoneās dreams, which is great, I believe because it proves that dreams moves people to want to do something, to make a difference and to go beyond pre-established limitations.</p>\n<p>Most of what we enjoy today as improvements in our way of life (from clothing to housing to technology and health) is the result of peopleās resourcefulness and resiliency to make their dreams come true.</p>\n<p>Some dreams are easier to work out (a diploma, a new school, a better hospital), others take more time, resources and even lives (peace, cures, freedom). In either case, we can't be human without dreams. They matter in one way or another.</p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3ttk5zsw","appParentAuthor":"jacqueline2","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
