SOME THOUGHTS ON DREAMS
Dreams are defined as involuntary successions
of images, emotions, and sensations which occur during sleep.
They are also called nightmares,
visions, fantasies, and hallucinations. They are also desires, expectations,
wishes, longings, hopes, yearnings, reveries , castles in the air and states of
unreality.
It is not undesirable to dream.
Dreamers are visionaries, idealists,
theorizers, and romancers.
What are dreams today can be
realities tomorrow. They are fore-runners of future events. They please all
sorts of thinkers because they fill their mind with hopes and inspire them to
work for a better future.
Day-dreamers are different from all-time
dreamers. They indulge in idle, pleasant or absentminded fantasies. However, they
are also described as creative.
According to the American divine
Frederick Henry Hedge (1805-90) Dreaming
is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which, if
it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante (Italian poet and
writer(1265-1321)or a Shakespeare (British poet-playwright 1564-1616).
Shakespeare said: Let not our
babbling dreams affright our souls.
In Act 2,
Sc.2 of his play Hamlet he said : Dreams indeed are ambition, for the very
substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream. In another play,
Romeo and Juliet, Act 5, Sc.1. he said: If I may trust the flattering truth of
sleep, my dreams presage some joyful news at hand.
To conclude, here are some famous
quotes on dreams:
*Dare to
dream big, then do something about it.
*At least
once a day, allow yourself the freedom to dream.
*Don’t make
your dreams smaller to fit into your current reality.
*Everything
starts with a dream.
*Every great
dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength,
the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
