I have just this morning realized that I do not have a drean anymore. My dream was that I would raise my kids to be good people then when the kids were grown my husband and I would do more together. We have collected collectables and antiques for years so we could have a little shop when we retired. But now I can not see past today. I wonder if I will ever again have a dream...I have always been a dreamer...I am like a fish outta water! Hugs all around friends

Why do people do the things they do and in so doing destroy so much. You can have a dream again my friend. It will come to you. I have two but they contradict each other.I would like to have more animals and I would like to travel....can't do both. The travel dream involves another person, someone to share the dream with but I just don't think it will happen. I think I've been on my own too long. I'm content by myself. It's taken a lot of heartache and a long time but it's happened. I guess where I am now was also a dream. Hugs to you darling.

Dear raydene, Part of your dream came true. It´s the one concerning your children. It´s a great achievement to see that your children have turned into good people and you can be proud of the education you gave them. The other part was beyond your control. Maybe you wouldn´t be doing some of the wonderful things you´re doing now if you were still with your husband because you wouldn´t have time for them. I can understand how you feel because you´ve been through so much trouble, that´s probably the reason why you feel like a fish outta water. Give it time, you´ll soon be swimming in an ocean again.

It's all right not to have a dream, raydene. In life, we all have ups and downs. Take a short break and enjoy your every moment. I am sure something will come up at some point in time and you will be able to find something of interest. Cheer up, you will have dreams again very soon :)

Oh Mom that upsets me so much for you! I know that as time goes along you will be able to build a new dream for yourself but I do understand how you feel right now! I pray for you every day Mom - even when I am at my lowest and your Grandkids ask how you are all the time! My biggest dream at the moment is to get more mobile and independant! xxx

Raydene, that is so sad - you just gotta have a dream! I realize that with your present situation you must feel like you've been kicked in the guts, and it has set you reeling, but need to get yourself back into gear raydene, and look to the future. Part of your dream is still there anyway - raising your children to be good people, and I know you'll carry on that dream, but set yourself another personal dream that your can achieve - for yourself. I know you can do it, you are stronger than you think. My dream is to raise my kids to be good people which I think I've achieved, so now I can do the same for my grandchildren. My personal dream is to own a house on acreage and have a couple of horses in the paddock! Oneday . . . .

Hi Raydene! Three years ago, I was down. I was hurt. But it was my dreams of living a bigger life than the one I'm leading now that keeps me going. I always dream in my sleep and I think about all the wonderful people out there who has decided to make a difference in my life and bring me to bigger and better things. I think you're a beautiful woman who've always had dreams of her own and wanted them accomplished and I know, with all the bad things going on, it may not seem that way, but you know what? Give it time sweetheart. I know that you will make it out and you will dream a new dream and one day, Raydene, it will come to pass and its all because you stuck to your goals and worked hard at it to make a dream come true. I plan on becoming someone big in the videogame business one day and I know that I will work hard to make that dream realized. Never give up Raydene. Never give up. :) I love you so much, The Wiiguy

Hi raydene! I have always been a dreamer too and I never stopped dreaming even though I can't reach them somehow. When I was younger, I dreamed I will marry a handsome prince and I did, he is not a royalty but he is a prince in my world. haha.. When we got married, I dream of having beautiful kids but until now I haven't had that dream come true. Now that I am in my forties, I still dream beautiful dreams but I know that somehow they will only remain as dreams nevertheless there is that little hope that they may come true one day. I just hope that you will have that inspiration to spin beautiful dreams again. Take care and have a nice day.

I don't dream many times, but when I do then it could be myself in different story. Sometimes I dreamed I can actually can fight like Jet Li style, sometimes I dreamed I drive an exotic car, etc. I think dream is part of human nature basically. Sometimes dream can freak me out, that is when I come to a point time in real daily life that I feel I dreamt about it before...and it's the same thing. So freaky sometimes :)

Every body dreams about something. It can be getting a good job, becoming rich, building a own house, settling down in your favorite country etc.. etc.. I too have a dream. One day I will make my dream a reality.

Everyone dreams, its part of human nature. Your subconscious mind is very active when you are sleeping. Whether you remember your dreams however when you wake up is a totally different story. I for one dont remember my dreams which can be really annoying but i know that i do have them.

I'm always dreaming. Of being a pro writer, of traveling and wandering to my heart's content. To be a Jack of all trades, a fighter, an artist. I saw my dream of being a private investigator die this past summer...and I'm doubting more every day that I'll ever become a professional writer, and have kindof..resigned myself to just writing just to write. As for the rest...they look like they may happen. I just'll probably not be AWESOMELY well-off. Just doing okay, living, surviving. Trend of my life, I guess. You'll find a new dream I'm sure, Ray =)

I hope you'll have a dream again, Raydene, and I think you will! I always had a dream too of having lots of money saved up for retirement and how my husband and I would be able to travel all over together while we were still young enough to enjoy it but then I was forced out of my job due to health problems and as I wait for my disability claim to be approved we've gotten deeper and deeper into debt and our excellent credit is now - well, let's say it's not excellent anymore. My own health problems and the chronic illness my daughter suffers from has really put us into a big hole! But, I'm an optimist, at least I always try to be, and I tell myself this too shall pass. I think we NED to have dreams to hold onto to get us through the rough stuff. Big dreams, small dreams, it doesn't matter but just something to look forward to and, yes, DREAM about when we're feeling down. Hang in there, Hon, and here's a big HUG for ya! Don't stop dreaming!
