Woolgathering

Is there anything new to this morning? Why am I feeling a bit different? Why is that whatever I did last night, most of it, is out of my mind? But it's good. I am feeling light. Oh yes! I had a dream. A long dream. That is why I am feeling like that. What was it??... let me remember..... God! I forgot! not again!!

hhmmm.... interesting!
While I recall my dream, here is something to think about.

Are the dreams powerful to shock the world when come true or they are weak enough to get destroyed ridiculously easily? Are they too arrogant to come to us whenever they like or they are too shy to stay in our minds?

It was an event that has changed my morning, and so maybe it can change my today. Oh yeah! I remember that. How powerful the dream was! I’m willing to tell you. But before that, let me “type down” what I believe. Dreams are not only those that you have when you are asleep but also those that you have when you wish something. They can change the way of thinking completely. One dream, just one dream, it may last for a few minutes or even mere seconds, and it has the power to change your day, your thinking, your life! The world of dreams is just amazing. Filled with much more fantasy than any Harry Potter book! Whenever we try to take a break from our present world, these dreams creep in our mind slowly, easily, unnoticed... After our captivation, the journey begins!

Where do you want to go? Paris, New York, Switzerland, Shimla, your home far away or even another planet, no problem! You are just a snap away! Your dreams will take you to wherever you may wish to go. No visa, no passport!

Whom do you want to meet? SRK, Sachin Tendulkar, Barak Obama, "Osama bin Laden"? Or do you want to meet the dead ones? Michael Jackson, Mahatma Gandhi, Hitler? Or maybe your parents? Or maybe the girl you always think of and always try to be around in an attempt to get her attention, doing different things which often get screwed and project you as an idiot!!! Again, you are just a snap away! You are just a nap away!

What do you want? To be the richest person on the planet, have the largest and the most expensive house, be the CEO of the biggest company, have a Limousine, be an astronaut and wander in space, to be a painter more celebrated than M.F. Hussain (so that even your crap sells off for millions!!), compose music better than Rehman, hit more centuries than Tendulkar, hack into Ankit Fadia’s computer, to be the lead actor in a Hollywood movie with Brad Pitt in a side role (any actress must be only opposite to lead :P), win a Nobel and an Oscar, have a beautiful tree house along side a quite lake, top your class, not to be late again, not to sleep again in that boring bald proff’s class, get all the clothes washed and room cleaned, ride a Hayabusa, not to scolded by the parents again, propose “that” girl (this one was obviously for boys! yes boys, you can do that. Even I have done that 2-3 times, of course, in the dreams :( Yeah, it can be very disappointing when you get up :) ). Again, you are just a nap away!

So, all in dreams? How amazing it would be if all this come true! Isn’t it? But it all happens in the fantasy world of dreams. Why do these dreams come? Why do they take us for such a ride to their world? Of what good is that? In fact, these dreams are all that we want. Whatever we wish, we feel deep inside and can’t express, feel or agree to be real is made true by these dreams. Of course some are just a reflection of desires which can’t come true, like meeting the dead ones. But most of the time they are nothing but our wishes and a world where we can make them happen the way we like. They are just the reflection of ourselves. These dreams show us that whatever we think of can be true. Dreams don’t lie. They are so powerful that take us into a world where we can try and see our wishes getting fulfilled! They show us how our world can be with our “dreams” come true. They try to make us believe that they are true and we can make them happen. They are the only things that convince you of something can be true that has not happened before. Not convinced? Look at some the desires listed, if you think that they are not possible, think again! Many of them have already been made true by some people. For example, Richest person – Bill Gates, most expensive house – L N Mittal, CEO of biggest company (Royal Dutch Shell on this date) - Peter Voser, having a Limo – many, win a Nobel and Oscar – George Bernard Shaw, proposed a girl – many (boys and girls both!!!!) and so on…. So why am I writing all this? This is because whatever we see in dreams and whatever we dream of can be made true. Some of them have already made true. Rest of them are there for us.

I strongly believe in dreams. They are the panorama of possibilities. They do their job by carrying us to their world. Now it’s our job to carry their world to ours. The overlap of these two different worlds is the real magic for me ! Whenever someone does what we dream of, we get stunned! Isn’t it true? We begin to ask ourselves, “How did he/she do it?”. The reality is, all of us, “the dreamers” including the one who made it happen, had taken the fist step successfully. We dreamt!! We all were at the same step. But the real difference came along the way. When rest of all ignored their dream, he believed in it. He knew that the two world are not separate. They are just unrealized!!!

And now it’s the turn of the dream that I had this morning. I dreamt that I have written a blog in my long dormant space and I am regularly updating it from now. I told you, I believe in dream and it was powerful. It has changed my morning because otherwise I would have done something else. It has also changed my today because everything else has been delayed :P. But, I have made my today’s dream true. I have overlapped the two worlds. I am very excited. This is magic for me….. This is the power of dreams for me…..
