D for Dreams

Do our dreams have any meaning? Why are they even called dreams? The dreams of your sleep the same as  the dreams of your wake, the future, the past, and the present dreams and ambitions and expectations and hopes...
What if you dream of someone? What if someone dreams of you? Awake or asleep, will they ever know? And will you ever know? What is the point of dreams if they are not acknowledged, if they do not happen, if they are kept inside and not translated to the outside world?!
Dreams versus reality, ambitions versus reality, expectations versus reality, hopes versus reality, an ongoing struggle. But why there should be any struggle? Because life is not fair? Because life is pain? Because to err is human? Because you are just not good enough? Lame excuses and faulty beliefs. There is no struggle...
Dreams are so powerful that they can totally take over you, make you so obsessed to the extent of refusing reality, or ignoring it, or fighting it, or sometimes even fearing it. However, whether you like it or not, reality is just there. It is always there. It is life. You will be a fool if you think for a moment that by living in a world of dreams you can cheat reality. As much as it is the other's reality, it is your reality as well, no running, no escaping!
Everything has been created for a clear purpose, and everything happens for a Divine wisdom. And this surely applies to dreams like everything else. So dream but do not over-dream, and live but do not over-live. Dreams and reality, they just intermingle. Realistic dreams and dreamy reality, you have got a perfect match...

  1. very-well written. I liked the ideas very much. What is innovating about it is that you ask the reader to dream while being realistic unlike most of the writings about dreams. I liked your expressions ""realistic dreams" and "dreamy reality". they are sort of summing it all. Facing the reader with the fact that over dreaming can take over one, I believe you have waken many readers especially those indulged in dreams and self-pity.
