Always have a dream
Make a wish
As the days draw in and winter threatens to engulf us in rain, more wind and dull days I like to have something in my mind that I can positively look forward to. This doesn't mean that I am unaccepting of how things are right now, indeed I'm having a great time doing all my activities from Alexander Technique, photography, violin playing and writing, not to mention socialising and country walking too. These are activities that I enjoy on a regular basis and will continue to do so. It's where I am right now. But I also have a dream.
I believe that everyone should have a dream, something wonderful, something to look forward to. I've heard it said however, that "Daydreaming is such a waste of time", but I believe it's positively helpful.
Having a dream does several things. The dream is created in our mind and we can have complete, conscious control over it, unlike night-dreams so we can change and form it in any way we like. We can put ourselves into the scene, experiencing new joys, new habitats, new relationships, employments and sensual pleasures. If we compare the dream to a film showing on the screen in our mind, we are the director, producer, actor, cameraman and complete master of its design. So we can construct the dream any way we like. If the day-dream isn't a good one, then it's down to us to change it and make it fantastic.
It is my belief that our mental activity, thoughts and dreams, send out energy into the Universe and will manifest. "What we think is what we get." And although we may not be able to understand or see how our dream can come true, it can manifest in surprising ways. Maybe not exactly, but similar or even better. However, negative thinking and doubts must be avoided as they will undermine them. We should keep our thoughts positive.
It's a good idea to reflect on our dream every day. Give it a few moments. Give it exactly 33 seconds, then release the thought and think of something else. Having energised the idea by thinking, we need to release the energy into the Universe so that it can manifest, but if we're 'holding on' to it, the energy cannot get going. So visualise what you want, then let it go.
Dreams make us feel good. They lift our spirits, fueled by aspirations, hopes, wishes and needs. Our dream can excite us, give us an emotional lift, something to look forward to. They make us happy and happiness makes us healthy. Dreams are what life is made of. To not have a dream is to not not ignite the light that will attract wonderful things towards us.
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!
Live the life you've imagined."
Henry David Thoreau, 1817-1862 American writer
