Dreaming

I’m grateful for the ability to dream and the freedom it brings.
I’m glad that it’s at no cost to me or anyone who tries to do it.
You “CAN” imagine the strength and wealth and power that comes from dreaming. Putting the imagination to work is a really cool thing to do if you’re so inclined.
Dreaming (with my eyes open or closed, on my seat or with laid back) is a means of escape. I can run from the past or present, I can create the now I want or the future, I can do anything and everything and I determine the players. Who does what, says what, how I act, how they act, how I live. Irrespective of the known reality, a story is painted and more often than not it is favorable. Forget ability or capacity, in this realm there are no impossibilities.
As much as that sounds narcissistic, it is truth. Maybe there’s an indirect god-complex at work, maybe it’s an avenue to not live fully or maybe it is a weakness. Whatever it is, I am happy that although they tried, no one succeeded in taking away my thoughts and dreams. No one could stop me from dreaming; it’s free and it’s mine. And it can be yours too. You never can tell what will come of it. For me, a lot has been birthed by my dreaming; more than I can tell.
My imagination is fueled by sight/scenarios of life, ingested content and ideas from nowhere, it is not always unaffected by human limitations however. Whatever it is I conjure in my mind, I’m a success at it either by invention or innovation. Some of the things I’ve imagined have seen the light of day, others remain lurking in the corridors of the space they were created in, waiting to be visited.
The problem with people like me who build castles with their minds is that they are often misconstrued to be something contrary. Especially by people who can’t understand the things we talk or don’t talk about. And the comments that pass could be scathing.
Don’t stifle another’s dreams. A lot of courage is channeled to share a dream when it is had. Don’t dismiss it. The world’s heroes are people who dared to dream and chase those dreams. No matter how “foolish” it may seem, those dreams have potential and the capacity to change lives.
