Someone told me its not good to always dream. But I think, to dream is essential in order for us to strive and push harder. To stop dreaming leads to a barren journey. A journey where there is no direction whether to to stop or move on. Remember, it is only in our dreams were we can be rich. Some dream, they could be rich if they have many money, to some if they have a colossal and luxurious house, and some is to have a happy family. There is no cost in dreaming. Dreaming is like trying because when you stop dreaming or trying you will lose your track.

Are you afraid to the nightmares you have? My mother told me to pray before sleeping to eradicate those bad dreams. Literally speaking, dreaming goes together with sleeping. We sleep because we need to rest.
Nevertheless, we tend to dream for good and happy living. Even me I dream to live satisfactorily. Maybe, all of us dream to be successful someday right? And in some point nightmares are the hindrances that impeded us in pursuing our dreams.

No, nightmares rarely occurs in my dreams. Praying I rarely do that too.
That is a big maybe.

Dream is only a by product of our unconscious mind. Some dreams might come into reality if the dreamer strives hard to fulfill his/her dream specially if it is a good one, but oftentimes it is an impossible dream. Bad dreams also happens to a person in real life when he/she neglects to pay attention of his/her daily undertakings and lifestyles. It is not bad to dream of something good as long as you work hard to reach your goal accompanied by hard prayer to the lord our god.

Hi, acenad315, for me dreaming is good, according to the studies dreaming is good for our mental health. You are free to do what ever you want to do. I always dream i am flying. According to Dream Moods, flying dreams fall under a category of dreams known as lucid dreams, Lucid dreams occur when you become aware that you are dreaming. Many dreamers describe the ability to fly in their dreams as an exhilarating, joyful and liberating experience. Having difficulties staying in flight indicates a lack of power in controlling your own circumstances. You may be struggling to stay aloft or stay on set course. Things like power lines, trees, or mountains may be obstacles that you encounter in flight. These obstacles symbolize something or someone who is standing in your way in your waking life. You need to identify what or who is trying to prevent you from moving forward. Difficulty flying may also be an indication of a lack of confidence or some hesitation on your part. So just keep dreaming.

Dreaming is essential to balanced mental health in my opinion. I suppose it would be accurate to say that I daydream by choice any time I think I can get away with it. Nothing wrong with that as far as I can tell. I mean, I don't let it interfere with my work or anything, and I don't run through stop signs or red lights because of it, but give me a few minutes of me time and you will most likely find me daydreaming about something pleasant. What's the alternative? Switching on the tube and listening to some depressing talking head blabbing about politics? No thanks. It's the dreamin' life for me!

Dreaming is only good if you can manage to get out of Peter Pan's world in due time to turn your fantasy into reality. We cannot live in our dreams forever. Sooner or later, our dreams will catch up on us and eventually get us frustrated subconsciously. In can't imagine how it is to wake up each morning only to find out that all the good things i am aspiring for remains in my reverie and to forever stay. I don't want to know. Living in dreams is like trying without really attempting to succeed. So, to work your way out from never land and enjoy what is real instead having in your tail that stinking alligator in search of Captain Hook, consider the following things: i. Dream Big! It is the first significant step you can take towards your vision minus the possibility of stumbling down. ii. Work your way up the ladder. Take small steps to ensure that you won't miss a stride. iii. Be thankful. Learn how to appreciate all your accomplishments, regardless of weight,to get pass the frustrations you will encounter along the way. Learning how to be grateful will help you survive the harsh reality.
