When Dreams Come True
“Hold on to your thoughts until they become real”…”first the word and the word became flesh”…
There are many schools of thought on how to make dreams come true. We are all dreamers with big dreams and small dreams…dreams that take an instant to be realized and dreams that take years to come to fruition. ..sweet dreams and nightmares. Dreams that have short lives and dreams that last forever.
Nothing is more profound than the quantum theory that the universe is nothing but a potentiality and what the observer brings into mind permits the universe to manifest that thought. Indeed the universe is what the observer perceives it to be and therefore our individual perceptions and manifestations of the universe are entirely unique just like our finger prints. There is no cut and dry description of the universe that will suit everyone. Not even the color red is the same for everyone.
There are world views and dreams that will take years to manifest. I have held on to dreams for as long as twenty seven years and watched in awe as they become real. I have dreams I am still holding on to, diligently putting in the ingredients to make them come true. It is amazing to see what was once just a thought is now physical reality.
This dream fulfillment is not an easy road. There are conflicting thoughts that come with making dreams come true. Beliefs, attitudes and perceptions are ingredients that build or shatter dreams. We choose what to accommodate.
It is bad enough when others attempt to discourage us or even shatter our dreams…it is even worse when we self invalidate ourselves…“I can’t do this. No way. This is impossible.” I can see myself working on my dream and hearing voices that say I am crazy for even thinking about it. It feels like a child on the way to conquer the heights of the towering tree and shrieks and shrills reverberate…“get down! you will fall! are trying to kill yourself?” When these are voices from the outside, an inner conviction can drown those unwanted fears and I know I will prevail. But when the voices come from inside…I know I have lost even before I have begun. Until I win that inner battle, the dream remains a dream.
I spend as much time warding off invalidating thoughts and images as I do building on a dream. I avoid people who do not share my dreams. I delete people, scenes, situations and voices from my thoughts. It is like tending a garden…we provide what we can to make the plants grow and at the same time we must remove the weeds and get rid of pests.
I came across the above video on http://www.businessinsider.com/the-most-viewed-youtube-videos-of-2009-2009-12#evian-roller-babies-1 it’s incredible what people watch. Is it an indication of the human psyche?
Anyway, I am enjoying my dreams and my realities…and what goes on in between.
