Posted on April 21, 2010 by Lacee Jordan: "love that dreams can take you back in time...."
I love that too, Lacee. But this morning I'm thinking how dreams might also be able to show us the future. I had a dream just before waking this morning, about a man I have feelings for. I haven't seen him in a really long time, something like 14 years. We have been talking, texting, messaging, what-not for several months now, and I'm anxious to see him in person again. I dreamt that we met up at a cafe of sorts, and greeted each other with a hug and a half-kiss. You know, the kind of kiss where you're not sure if you're gonna go for it, or kiss on the cheek, and something in-between happens? Awkward. The next thing that happened was worse. He sat on the other side of this sort of open bar thing, and attempted to have a conversation with me. But he was so far away, and I wanted him closer. I wanted to touch him, kiss him, laugh with him, but I could barely even hear him. It was unsettling, to say the least. And then I woke up.
The question is now, is this a harbinger of a future event, or merely anxiety about not being able to see him now, and wanting to? I suppose only time will tell.

The Beauty of Dreams
Posted on April 19th, 2010 by Shiloh DeWolf Pyne: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams". -- Eleanor Roosevelt
There are many people among my Facebook friends list who often post uplifting quotes about life. This one I really liked. It very well could have said "The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams". But "the beauty of their dreams" is so much more believable to me.
Everyone has a dream. Some people dream of being the best parents, or the most skilled carpenter. Some dream of being a published writer/author. There are dreams of innumerable types because there are billions of people on this planet who all hold a different perspective, and different ideas about their lives. Some people are actually living thier dreams right at this very moment. But what I think gets lost a lot of the time is the BEAUTY of not only having a dream, but working for it, and then actually achieving it - if only to have another dream take its place.
The beauty is in the process, the lessons learned, the people met along the way. The beauty is in the reward of achieving something you may have once felt it impossible to achieve. The beauty is having faith in yourself no matter what the obstacle. And the beauty is also knowing that if you feel like it, you can change your dreams, because they are YOURS.
