Dreams

"A dream is a wish you heart makes when your fast asleep"

One of my favorite Disney classics of all times. There are so many things that come to mind when one says's dreams.

An image of self:

"I'm gonna be this!" it's the first time a dream takes shape. The first sentence that begins the definition of self. An image of who we are or what we want to be. We are so passionate about it and so sure that this is definitely it! and every single time this sentence is repeated it is a new facet we discover. Dream is a journey to the realization of self though analysis driven by passion and interest.

A wish:

A place, an object even a person can be a wish. We always dream about it. We imagine our life with the wish coming true. The implications yet again driven by wishful thinking and blinded by passion. I use the word passion again because we are so charge and euphoric and attracted to it that we hinder any other result save for the one we perceive to be the one coming true.

A Subconscious thought:

Something we see, someone we meet, a though process, an idea, a minute observation made anything that we interacted with directly or indirectly that sticks. It first takes the form of words then images. This is fueled by a natural human gift of a fertile imagination. People may disagree and say i know people who can't think outside the box, i say it's those ones who have the most magnificent dreams but yet can't remember them since they are classically conditioned and programmed to not explore.

Past lives:

In school there was a fad that suddenly came up that dreams are visions we have of our past lives. I found that so intriguing that i actually read up all sorts of books on understanding dreams and the works of the subconscious mind. Granted, it may be 'mystical' art but i don;t think i was cut out for it. My dreams go left right and center across peoples and places and it is so hilarious the conclusions i drew. For those who may be experts in the art a few comments to this posts would be sincerely appreciated so as help me introspect my current and/or past life.

Premonition:

A million times it has happened with me. 'Deja Vu' ! i have been in circumstances wherein i'm so sure i have seen a situation or a place before. It is scary and wondrous all at the same time. The fact so remains that yes we do use 100% of our brain subconsciously. Also that we have an immense potential within us to change the tides of the future or craft them to our will.

So what is a dream? is it a wish, a thought a premonition or an image of self or is it something completely unique that transcends all explanation whatsoever? 

One of the many mysteries of life -  Dreams.... !

Choices

It always gets worse before it gets better... Didn't know the meaning of this phrase until of late.

Things did get worse... but they are getting better...

Found the one person who i love and who loves me back the way i  want to be loved back.

The financial pressures though not over are now no longer in anyone else's hands but mine.

It's getting tough, i have to be strong for the one i love. I even made a choice to prioritize family over career, it may seem messed up but it makes me happy. I have at least enough confidence to believe that i will do something with my life even if my current professional life spins out of control. 

Choices are a funny thing, you never know if you've made the right one. You just have to have faith in yourself and believe that you have. I believe that the right choice is the one that brings peace eventually. 

  

War Does Not Bring Peace

There were 3 more blasts in Mumbai, India again. One of them was at a bus-stop. It is not political or regional or even terror. It's just plain sad. Have we ever though how much emotion is present in a bus-stop. People eagerly waiting to go home. There could have been a newly married man/woman eagerly waiting to rush home to their significant other. A girl who might have just kissed goodbye to her boyfriend. A mother waiting to see her child. In a flash it's all gone. Just finished and wiped off the face of this earth leaving nothing but sadness in the hearts of a lot of people.
Whatever maybe the reason, such an act is not justified. It does not bring peace to anyone. Not to the people who did it, or those who faced it or even those were struck by it.  It's just sad how people create puns about it or think of it as a suitable topic for debate or create a chat show.
It's sad, that's all it is... it never has brought peace and neither will it ever bring peace.
