“Dreams”- Fiction or Reality?

Honestly I have not been a firm believer that what we dream can certainly come true. I have always quizzed how can we map events and actions in our subconscious state and claim that they can be turned into reality. I mean, seriously when we sleep we are in a position  when our thoughts are in free fall state, we can think what we want without the boundaries of reality acting in discord. Honestly how can an individual in their late 70s perhaps claim that they dreamt of themselves enjoying themselves in for example in Las Vegas yet they have no idea how USA looks like or all of their lives have been confided in one place in Africa. To me that is nonsensical to say the least to assume that such a dream can be turned into reality (I am blunt but the truth has to be told). So whenever I hear that or similar dreams I laugh my lungs out at this, and claim that is a sad reality about dreams.

But...

They are certain dreams; I mean real dreams, not those fictious styles of dreams that can never be turned into reality. Yes, those real dreams that when you wake up, you feel your heart pounding faster than normal. Those dreams which make you begin to think about yourself, your life and those that are close to you. Those dreams that are somehow talk to your inner self. Those that appears too real to be true. They are positioned strategically in your life that you see events and people connecting harmoniously and so perfect like a spider web.   These are dreams that get me to think that perhaps dreams can have an element of reality.

 Should we fear our own dreams because they show us the blunt side of life? Should we brush aside the thoughts that emerge from dreams and assume that life is more real than dreams? Or are dreams mere wishes that we have as mortal beings?

Should we in our quest go out there and attempt to seek the true meanings of our dreams?

 Or Are dreams a way of unlocking our full potential and destining us to greater heights? If dreams have no meanings in our lives, why then do we dream?

My dream got me thinking...maybe there is something inside a dream that we are taking for granted.

This is just a thought...

Thoughts and Views do matter...

People usually don’t give credit to thoughts because they feel they are not conclusive and tend to dwell so much on ambitions, yet without realising the fact that these play a critical role in their everyday lives. Thought if truly appreciated can be the centre of debate on critical issues, because one can state anything without any limits or even without being blinkered. Thoughts if allowed to freely express themselves in appreciative platforms can be the backbone of tangible actions.

How many times have we rebuked an action of a friend or even that of the government and conclusively state that this issue has not been given much thought? Don’t you think that is the reason why they are opposition political parties, civic society organisations and anti-thesis that amongst other things aim to criticise and replace thoughtless actions and hypothesis?

Unfortunately thoughts will forever remain thoughts and unknown if not retold. One of my friends, colleague and a person whom I have a great respect of once wrote that, people especially youths should value the aspect of writing issues and debates and turn these into readable material so that the world becomes the epicentre of knowledge and debate as well as remain beneficial to the future generation. There is a need therefore to unlock our thoughts as they have the potential of changing the linear progression of events. Yes, thoughts can change a policy of a country, influence a clause in an Act, and help a friend not make an abrupt decision, change behaviours and stir an organisation / company into the headway of success.

That can only happen if thoughts are retold, documented and retold again.

History has shared to us experiences of great leaders who made a name of themselves and that of their nation through thoughts. A case in point Lenin, Trotsky, Bukharin of Russia, whom I like to call them the great society of thinkers in the 20^th century, who using their own situation in Russia came up with an antithesis of stages towards reaching the socialism. Interestingly during their time, few people managed to fully comprehend and appreciate what “the great society of thinkers” was thinking. Some never bothered to listen to them, some repressed them, some listened and kept quiet, some told their stories to neighbours and their wives in secret hidings...

But SOME, openly engaged with them, perfected their thoughts and helped in turning their thoughts into feasible actions.

 Since then their thoughts dominated the world political discourse long after they had passed away. Apart from that, their thoughts are still being studied in various and renowned academic institutions.

Thoughts...

So thoughts do matter after all, if shared and documented, they can change the unexpected and help one come up to a better judgement.
