Dream

I wonder which is more difficult. To have a dream, to sustain a dream or to realize a dream. I am stuck at a point in my mind where I find it difficult to dream. Silly!

I ask myself this. What does it cost to dream. What is the validity of a dream. Where is the necessity to prove or disprove any dream. Etc etc. And to all these questions, I answer them logically and fail. A dream is but a dream. A fantasy with no reality other than a visualization of time and space in my mind to entertain, captivate and develop a desire to make the multi sensory imagination come to life so that it can be shared with loved ones and those yet to be loved in the 'real' world.

What a pathetic way to try and define what a dream is.

This brings me to the thought, 'Why dream?'

Questions questions rumbling in my head yet I find it so difficult to just dream. Man... I miss being a child. To look at something and just superimpose your thoughts and imagine rockets, music and women and make Indra look ordinary.

That was just a try.. still no good. Just dream my boy.

Mind rejects.

Somewhere while growing up and experiencing the so called ups and downs of life this dream aspect of my being seems to have jumped into the back ground and got faded. Everything is looked at as facts and figures. Plans and results. Yes and No's. Black and White. The colours seems to have faded away.

Why Dream

Break free oh Thought you are trapped in this tiny head. You are infinite. If the sky can be reflected 'unconsciously' in your mind when you are asleep, ask yourself this question are you limited inside the physical skull of yours or are you as Infinite as the sky that can be simply imagined even unconsciously without the slightest of efforts.

What stops you from dreaming Oh Bharatha - He asks

Why the limitations? Why do you carry these iron shackles around your mind. Let go; let free this mind. Let it dream

Why not dream

Why dream

What are your goals. What are your targets. What are your plans. What are your requirements. Why are futures traded. Why is tomorrow so important that you invest today? Question Questions you may scream ... but are all these not somebody's dreams realized and being lived today.

We dont want surprises. We dont want to fail. We dont want to behave or act different than norms set for people to behave and act. I dont want ... I dont want

What DO you want. Dream it. Break free

Mistakes is part of life. You learn. Limits can't be drawn on every scenario, every solution, every behaviour pattern, every future incident. We are so drawn to making fact based studies and compiling them that we dont stop and tell our self that this is what we want.

Consider this arguement - 'It is not there today but it will and can be there tomorrow because its my dream'

If there has to be a better tomorrow it has to come from a positive mind that holds a vision of time and space with conditions that makes happiness possible. But is that not somebody's dream.

So why not dream? What is the difficulty in dreaming? To come about a situation where the dream becomes a reality the dream has to be sustained and worked upon to be achieved. But without the dream in the first place where is the question of a better tomorrow.

Where did the dreaming process stop? Why so many arguments to just dream?
