Dreaming big!

I like to dream really really big... even if it is impossible to make it a reality because I think dreaming is one thing that is your own and you can have all your freedom in it. It's also fun to do! But there was a point in my life where I was afraid of dreaming big because I didn't want to disappoint myself when I could not accomplish them. Now I see dreams differently. What about you? Do you make really big big dreams? Why or why not? What are you views on dreams?

Yes I have a big big dream,I want to own a big company and can make profit continuely,I can bring a lot of material and spiritual satisfaction both to my family and my staff.I will have plenty of leisure time so I can travel all round the world,but this dream is too big and too far I think. For nowadays,I think my dream is to have a good job,and can buy a house and a car,will fall in love with a nice girl and get marry,and give born to a boy baby and a girl baby,all my family will have a happy life.

I think this dream is a common and everyone wants to have that kind of life. We all see the life this way. Too bad this common dream is not easy to accomplish. Finding a good job is not easy and , for me , having a girl friend is a challenge. I still don't understand how most of the girls think. I can start a nice conversation with one girl and add her on facebook , the next day she can stop answering me with no reason... Raising kids is also not a party , they need an extra care and attention and a good education.

I think that is why dreams are powerful because you can leave all the 'reality' out. You can freely imagine all the wonderful things round up in a ball and some can change that into hope and motivation to actually try to make that into a reality. We may fail but it is something we did by following in our hearts and I believe that I cannot regret things when I follow my heart.

I too like to dream . Dream bigger and dream better because "No dream is to big and no dreamer is to small".

Dream big!!! Dreaming is free so why not dream the biggest dream. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it. I dreamed of finishing college and i really did. Dreamed of having my own job and be able to buy my own stuffs, and i did. I dreamed of coming to America and travel to different places and i did. So to think of it, it would be impossible when you are young and poor. But dreaming helps a lot, thinking about what you are dreaming for, setting goals to achieve them, and stepping your foot on the ground.

what would be impossible when you are young and poor? I agree in dreaming big.. I agree it takes us places and motivates us but it also makes us simply happy just by dreaming and imagining things.

dreaming for me is the same as having plans in life, plans don't all happen as what we ought it to be just like dreams don't all happen as we thought it to be, but having dreams/plans is very important that somehow leads us to where we should be...

if one only dreams but never tries to achieve for him dreams are nightmares for him.

I don't agree. I think the simple act of dreaming is a lot of fun.

Laws of attraction and yes I dream big and in living color. The bolder the picture the better. I cut pictures out of the magazines of the house that I want; the car I see myself driving and the places that I want to go. I wear my rose colored glasses all the time and I'm definitely living with castles in the air. It's fun and exciting and I love to share love all around. It's what connects me to my inner being love and propser everyone. Dreaming is a way to make your dreams come true as long as you keep dreaming and hoping and wishing for the same things. Ask and ye shall receive. Believe it and it will be.

you have a visualization board? I do too. Well, I also dream for the reason of just dreaming.. because it's just simply fun to do.. you can make up all that you want and you don't really have to be responsible for it! I agree that dreams help up achieve our goals etc, but i also think it is a source of freedom as well.

Working towards a dream is very important in the modern world, and if we don't do this then we're never going to be able to get the things that we both want and need in our lives. One of the things that I would really love to be able to do is buy a property and do it up then rent it out, but I know that I need to save a lot of money to be able to do this, and it is that part that I am struggling with at the moment. I know that I am going to be able to do it in the long term, but I have to keep dreaming in the short term in order to keep my ambitions alive.

Good luck! Do you have silly dreams? I do, like becoming a rock star or a clown at a circus.

I personally think the dreams we have at night are a random mix of our thoughts and life experience. Maybe we can learn something from them or interpret them. In the bible , there is a boy named Joseph , and he dreams some symbolic dreams about his life. His dreams become real in a metaphorical way. His brothers sell him to slaves merchants and he comes to Egypt. In Egypt he becomes the helper of the king and his brothers are coming to ask for help and they bow down before him. Like the dream he had about the sheaf of corn circle that bow down to the one sheaf of corn in the circle's center. We learn from Joseph story that it is good to dream but not to sleep. My dream is simple and is only this : everywhere I go , I make a good example and offer help for people , to like them for free and so they will be the same way. For example , in my class of SQA studies , I offer help to others , asking them how they do , tell them what I did and try to teach them. Too bad one just ignores me :(.

I'm sorry some ignore you, sometimes 'good examples' and 'help' can differ from one human to the next. I think your 'dream' is a good goal... and my goals are more realistic like yours but for my dreams I go way out.. and dream of becoming a bird and flying, because there's no limit in dreams.

I dream a lot. dream that i can do what i cant, i can have what i cant, things like that. dream is the image of our hope. hope is what left for humankind when the Pandora box opened. so i think dreaming is not a bad thing. rather, it shows that we have hope in living. without hope, you can not live a happy, or at least, content life.

There is nothing wrong in dreaming big, but we must be sportive to accept the failures. Most of the times our high expectations will give disappointments and we are ready to face it. I don't have huge dreams, i am working hard to fulfill my honest dreams and desires

I think dreams should have no limits because we are already limited in reality. I agree that we should not have high expectations but I don't think that should stop us from having really big dreams because in the moment that we are dreaming it is always a good feeling and reality shouldn't stop that from us. I sometimes dream of becoming a bird and flying. It may not happen in reality but it can always happen in dreams.

I also have a habit of dreaming big. I do not get worried concerning how it will come true or stuff like that. I like dreaming because it makes me happy though temporarily. It, as you mentioned, makes me feel good and earns me self respect. If it is something related to becoming true, I try to make all possible effort to make it true.

i must say i have big dream. when i was little, i had a lot of dreams i want to achieve although i have known some dreams are impossible to make it a reality now, but i still have some big dreams now, i don't care if it can become reality finally, i just like the feel that you have a big dream even though a dream that is too difficult to get it. big dreams make us feel happy and we will work hard for dreams it is so important
