Dreams I (Introduction)

First thing first, hence let me clarify, this piece does not talk about Sigmund Freud kind of dreams which you see with your subconscious mind while sleeping. This piece is about the dreams you see with your conscious mind and open eyes. You may say it is about ambitions and aspirations but it also goes beyond common ambition and aspiration. Ambitions and aspirations are probable and somehow achievable but dreams may be probable may not be probable, may be achievable may not be, in fact dreams may be highly unrealistic.  

Some (which constitutes a small minority) openly talk about their dreams, some secretly dream, some vehemently deny to have any dream, some don’t have physical time to dream, some don’t have emotional time to dream, some scoff and laugh at others’ dream but each one of these people has dream, may be hidden under many layers.

So many writers, thinkers, poets and modern day pep uppers (or in other words self help and chicken soup for soul book writers) have written about dreams. Now it’s the confession/warning time. This piece also may become selfhelpish in part. At this stage I don’t have any clue how this will shape up. You may say I m trying hand at ‘streams of consciousness’ however here we are talking about my streams of consciousness (which is funny considering the fact that I m non-conscious or subconscious most of the times! About that we will talk may be some other time.). Still I will try to be gentle that is to be minimal preachy.

Coming back to our topic, all these writers, thinkers etc. mostly concur every human beings must have dreams or we r dead within. We hear so much blah blah about dreams and surprise surprise (or not) those are mostly true can be verified by yours truly’s experiences. That will come later. First let’s do a chronology of dreams, as in dreams in chronological order of our life.
