Well, this might seem irrational,
but it is quite true. You can never live a life of your dream. Earlier, when I
use to write, I use to think what people will think after they read what I have
written. But, I never tried to write what I thought because I thought, what I
thought is too general and irrelevant for people to read.
But, it is quite true
that I too, like to read things that are mostly irrelevant due to the approach
we have in our life towards everything that matters. So, the synergy, or more
appropriately, the sync between the mind and the pen is prerequisite for
writing what you are thinking, no matter what others think, when they read or
in my case, they never do.
Now, coming back to the living the life of my dream.
If you start living the life of your dream, then, in a way, it would be a
betrayal to your dream because what will dream be then, if you mix it up with
reality or, join the reality and the dream. That is, for me, is a sad moment in
any one's life, but traditionally and mostly or commonly, that is never the
case.
The Present
The act of completion of the dream is an event for celebration. The very
act of dreaming hints that you are unhappy with the reality. This then leads to
the dissatisfaction with the reality and you travel to the world of dreams to
find the solution. And, when we complete our dreams, we seem to be happy for a
moment until the reality kicks in with another problem. So, the war never stops in
one's lifetime.
You can never be content and satisfied if you are dreaming. It
only leads to the unpleasant experiences in reality. So, one may ask, what is the
solution to break the cycle.
Either, live with the reality or die dreaming.
People rejoice fulfilling their dream and making it a reality. And, I think
they are not respecting their dreams. But, they like to think that, it is a
continuous process, like stacks, where you replace a dream with another.
Dreams
are pseudo-realities for people, who like to achieve their dream. It is a mere
reflection of their imagination with a hint of limitation of their current
reality.
The Past
So, another theory which is worthless goes like this; as no one really
knows where dreams are kept, so why waste a dream to the real world or, why not
keep all the dreams. But, don't you think, according to the current thinking, that
would be so much burden for an individual. I mean, keeping all your unfulfilled
dreams in a cabinet of your worthless mind.
If for a moment, you try to
recollect all the dreams you had since your birth and make a library of it,
wouldn't be that great? But, No, that itself is a dream for a very few of us.
We like to complete our dreams because for most of us the core idea of dreaming
or, the basic and most important aim of dreaming is creating a reality of our
dreams. We wish to pursue dreams because that's what we like our reality to be
in real life too and not only in our dreams. And, that becomes the mission of
our life or real life.
We do not treat dreamworld as another world but a world
for which we have to work harder. Dreaming with a purpose is a fruitful
exercise for humankind as it has helped us in so many of our inventions and
discoveries.
Who wouldn't agree with that? But, if we think what would have
happened if mankind would have never made any effort to complete any of their
dreams, would we be still be living in stone age? The answer is yes, that may be partially
true, or maybe not, we do not know for sure because we never actually took that
path.
So, if we keep dreaming and keep
bringing our dreams to realities, then it may be possible that one day we would
have nothing to dream because we would have closed the gap between dreams
and realities. But, that can never be made possible. Because we are the most
unsatisfied creature on the planet, in every possible way.
This is also one of
the qualities, which has brought us where we are and will lead us into the
future, where we will go. Hence, it works both ways. This is an open-end well,
without a depth and limit, or with an infinite capacity. So, the correlation between
progress and dream is certain and evident.
But, the possibility of extinction
of dreams for mankind is not necessarily true. Because, as we keep making new
realities, we keep manufacturing dreams. They are simultaneous exercises in
which the rate of creating dreams is always infinite times faster than rate of creating a reality.
The Future
Many of us like to live in our dream world, or as they say, it makes living in
the reality easier because the reality is bound by constraints, and dimensions
and rules for the players. On the contrary, dreams are open and depend only on
our imagination, which can be limited by our reality in the current situation
or past happenings.
What actually limits many of us to
dream bigger in life is our own inherent bias and limitations acquired through
series of experiences in reality of daily life. The center does revolve around
us as we are the center of the universe, no matter on which part of the earth
you reside.
Finding comfort in other's dream
completion is another common exercise of the mankind. Since we share so much in
common, we are bound to share many of the dreams which may be personal or
general.
This is also the cause of slow development and growth in any part of
the world while high growth and development in many other parts of the world.
The rate of completion of dreams into reality is a strong metric for the
development of a region, which is, the reality is dependent on many other
factors.
So, to define a state for the human mind, we need to know in which
state is she right now or would like to be, when making an important discovery
or inventions. So, that we can decide which state is better after thorough
study which shall be backed by data and not by the hypothetical rant of a lad.
The
research is long and expensive. The demarcation of the state is confusing at
times since the behavior in both the states, for most of us is coinciding and
mixed up. The metrics and factors on which the study will be dependent are
complex and evolutionary in nature, but for the study purposes, we shall define
them in a proper context and limitation.
