Rahul looked at his wife as soon as they landed at Switzerland Airport and said " Remember dear ! I always used to dream of this place but was never sure. And see, we are here today". His dreams became reality and he had to pinch his wrist to check the status. Was it a coincidence or do dreams have the innate POWER to be realized ???
As kids we always think dreaming as an activity associated with sleeping. We tell fascinating descriptions of our previous night dreams to our parents. Yes...the nightmares also share our beds. When we get up scared, mothers are more frightened than us. Hugs and pecks follow to reinforce that everything is fine.
Of course different cultures view the occurrences of dreams in diverse meanings.
1. Dreaming is a natural phenomenon
You must have heard people saying...Dream Big. And you always wonder....How? We wish it is as simple as saying it.As kids we always think dreaming as an activity associated with sleeping. We tell fascinating descriptions of our previous night dreams to our parents. Yes...the nightmares also share our beds. When we get up scared, mothers are more frightened than us. Hugs and pecks follow to reinforce that everything is fine.

2. It is difficult to understand mind
Brain is being studied by scientists and philosophers alike for more than 2500 years. While medical science is starting to getting the brain anatomy and functions in a bit more clearer sense, the mind is still a mystery to both. People are always curious to know the interpretations of their dreams but there is no science which can help you out. Dreaming and their linkages to ambitions is still an uncharted territory to most.
Primarily, there are two usages of Dream. One is "a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep". This is something you do not have control over. When it comes to life and success, we are talkng about the second meaning , which is "a cherished aspiration, ambition, or ideal."
3. You find opportunities to realise your dreams
"I just began to crave for something different" says Jennifer Smith who turned her dream into reality. She always wanted to be a horse coach. When she got a 9 to 5 job in book publishing she felt uncomfortable. Not to be daunted, she volunteered to be an assistant where horses help people with disabilities. "I felt like I was speaking directly to me" says Jennifer. When the girl smiled at her minor victories, other children in the wheelchair cheered her. And that was the turning point. She decided to spend her saturdays there onwards. You make time for things that matter, she announces proudly.
I often hear people say that I have a dream to do this or do that. But I do not know how to start. Yes, the key is "to start". Once you start things start falling in its place.
4. Dreams take you towards your destination
I am reminded of three friends who used to discuss their dreams at the age of 18. One wanted to settle in a foreign country. He always had a rosy picture of western lifestyle. Second had a great passion for his own country, family roots and rich culture. Third intended to enjoy foreign country for some time, return and the settle down in his own native place. All THREE had same qualifications, similar family backgrounds and identical opportunities. 35 years fast forward, I need not tell you, where they are now. Exactly, where they WANTED despite obstacles and/or environment.
5. So, how do we get what we want...
Look at this girl.
Do you have the same perseverance ???
My stake is....just remember your dream, pursue it relentlessly and keep hope. It is sure to happen.
