Dreams

Ever wondered what Dream means. My friend says they are just images thrown to your conscious sense by the sub conscious mind which is trying to tell you desires hidden deep within you which are hindered back because of various reasons. According to him if you are able to connect back to your subconscious then you would be able to figure out what they actually mean and understand what your subconscious us trying to tell you.

All of us dream and have many dreams at different ages and somehow try to figure out a way not to think of fulfilling them and just ignore them as mere fantasies. But dreams are not something that you get when you go to sleep but they are strong desires that we have about something which craves to be fulfilled to be able to achieve the thing we want to achieve in life.

You may have dreams which may seem silly but not necessarily be so. So how do we know or understand what dreams are trying to tell us. A simple way would be is to try listening to your subconscious because it is the one which knows your past, present and future. It is you who need to figure out a way to connect to it and everything in your dream will start making sense.

When I think of dreams it reminds me of the song from the movie Yes Boss and the song goes like this ‘Chand tare tod laao……..bus itna sa khwab hai’ where he is singing a song talking about all the dreams he has to be in life. So do we, but we just get so caught up in our so called ‘realistic’ world that we actually forget about what all we wanted to do and achieve when we were young and just let them become a mere dream and nothing else. Finally, when we are old we think of all that we could and wanted to achieve in life and just regret about the value we gave to our dreams and what became of it.

What I want to say is if at all you have dreams which can be fulfilled with an effort to do it then go for it rather than postponing it for never and regret it. Just live your dreams and then see what happiness you get in life and you will actually be able to sleep calm without your dreams turning into a night mare. We may have really big dreams that might seem like will take an eternity to be fulfilled but I say it is not so, at least give it a try rather than ignoring it and you will see ways and paths to actually fulfill them.

So be a dreamer and not just that, but only if you dream will you have the crave within you to fulfill it. There is a Hindi saying to this which goes like this “Khwab dekho tabhi to use poora kar sakoge” which means only if you dream will then will you be able to achieve it.

My dream is to stand on the cliff of the hill early in the morning just before sunrise when the weather is really cold and I can feel the blow of the wind on my skin and there is absolute silence and standing on the cliff looking down at the valley beneath filled with lights of the city and me trying to jump off the cliff and someone just holds my hand and pulls me back.
