Dream on

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.. Dream on, dream on..

These are the lyrics of one of the best songs of America's best classic rock band 'Aerosmith'.

I really don't understand, how and why we get all these dreams. Ya, there are scientific reasons why we get dreams, but is the almighty trying to tell you something? Or, is it just because of stress..

I will classify our lives into three categories - Professional-reality, Personal-reality and Personal-dreams. Professional-reality life usually goes on with work. Its similar kindda work most of the times, so we tend to get bored. Personal-reality, is the real life we are living. It gives us happiness, sadness, challenges, and blah blah blah...
Personal-dreams is the life, which is interesting...only interesting!! You see, what you cannot do. You feel, what you cannot feel because of hard circumstances in real life... You achieve, what you may achieve in another 25 years. You reach a place, where you may not even plan of going in this life...

Some days before, I saw a dream that my GM in the new company has fired me from the company because she didn't find me worth the job. I was so afraid and sad... and then I woke up and realized that I was dreaming. I said to myself, I will never let this happen and work even harder. I was telling this to my roomy and in reply, he told me what he dreamt.. He was in possession of Kohinoor diamond and he had kept it in his office bag. Whole world knew the whereabouts of this..and everyone is after his life...he is running like a Don(spider man/superman) here and there, trying to save it...suddenly his alarm woke him up. We laughed out loud (one of the best mornings I've ever had!!). He is still to see the part 2 of this and I am waiting eagerly too!!

Sometimes we dream of beautiful life with someone. We keep on running after this dream so we can bring it to reality...but we forget, that it is just a dream..its a personal-dream life... not personal-reality life. History has witnessed some of the very important dreams for humanity welfare which came true. A trip to moon, was a dream, and we achieved it. But this was not easy. We had to be daring enough to realize this dream to reality.

The Alchemist, a book by famous writer Paulo Coelho, tells us that dreams are achievable, but we have to try hard to bring them to reality, sometimes, we have fight for them...the end result becomes an achievement of life. If we are unable to achieve them and we leave them in between, end result becomes a failure of life.

I guess I am deviating from the fun part :-)

Coming back to track...Professional-reality and Personal-reality are controllable, but Personal-dream is not in our hands. If its a beautiful dream and it breaks in between, we feel sad. If its a bad dream and it breaks in between, we feel happy..in both the cases, its only personal-reality that tells us, what we are and what we need to do...

But there is no comparison of Personal-dream life :-)

So,
Dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on...
