Do not get lost in dreams.

Dreams are a nice thing to experience, but while they might be a hint to something to come or something that could inspire us, we have to remember that for the most part, they are not real. Therefore, some people always have their heads in the clouds and thus they lose sight of the real world, rather they get drowned in dreams. So it is important to keep both feet firmly on the ground and just take life as it is, with dreams perhaps serving as a hint of what is to come.

i think that at some point in our lives we all have dreams in which some of them we try to strive to turn into reality. We can get so caught up in things as we try to focus on the things we dream about, this can be a bad thing and can shut us off from the real world. A dream is a dream and just that, it is not a sign of what will hapen in the future, a few times i have been lost in my dreams and tried to get things and later i have been disappointed and so i learned the hard way. If something is supposed to happen in life then it will happen, but our dreams are not a sign of what will happen so we shouldn't see them as a sign and get caught up and lost in our dream state. This in a way could shut us off from the real world, so it could be a bad thing really, it is great to have a dream, but we have to acknowledge that that is all it is, it is just a dream.

Some dreams can be turned in reality. However not all of reality should be based off dreams. There is a time and a place to dream but also a time and a place to live in the real world. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

What kind of dreams are you talking about? Dreams as in goals, aspirations, and hopes? Or dreams as in the mental movies we experience every night?
I'm pretty sure you're talking about goals so I'm going to answer as such. While I don't believe you should lose sight of the here and now... I don't think dreams should just be hint of what's to come. I think dreams should be the northern star that guides you. Maybe at one point, in your childhood or your youth, you simply looked out and hoped to get there. One day though, you should decide that you don't want to dream... you want to BE. You should make the choices, run the races, and do what it takes to make that dream more than a hope, and more than a hint of anything.

I think that there are just times where we have to face facts. It is nice to dream, to have goals, but at the same time, there is no way that it can be completely all we have to worry about. There are times where we allow dreams to guide us but there is a difference between dreams guiding us and dreams ruling our lives. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
