Dreams

A dream may certainly be a wish your heart makes, when it happens to be fast asleep. However, in my world, such slumber-filled visions can be best described as a pathway to a world of mystery, magic, fear and emotion. Perhaps these unconscious thoughts are wishes, though wishful thinking (as anything else) apparently comes with a price as nightmares have never failed to leave my side during times of stress. I suppose the dreaming world works in a similar fashion as life: we must endure the hardships to fully appreciate life's benefits. In order to gain from our good dreams, maybe the bad must also be recognized. What is light without dark anyway? The two sides seem to co-exist in every fiber of existence, and I must say... it works. Life works. I bring this up merely as a personal perspective on my own dreaming process. Perhaps other people feel the same. Either way, life is what we make of it and my dreams/nightmares are telling me that life is headed for some new directions, both scary and exciting. Bring it on...
