Beyond Dreaming

The concept beyond dreaming can only be better decoded if we understand the key word “DREAM” well according to the Wiktionary an online dictionary it stated that a dream is ‘A visionary scheme; a wild conceit; an idle fancy or an imaginary event seen in the MIND while sleeping that is sometimes hoped or wish for. With that definition you can have a better grip of where I will be taking you to.

Dream can sometimes be projected based on different factors that affect us psychological or mentally if I can use that, now there are many factors that can make us either to dream or have a nightmare (Any bad, miserable, difficult or terrifying situation or experience that arouse anxiety, terror, or great displeasure. Or it’s a very bad or frightening dream)

(1) MOOD: this is defined as a mental or emotional state or a disposition to do something. The state at which our mental disposition is can either affect us negatively or positively BUT how it affects us is central on how we manipulate it to our favor or against us e.g. If maybe we had a very rough life experience and we want to change from such situation to a more favorable one, that’s when our mood comes into play, if by chance you live in a slum and you are tired and frustrated with everything around you, your mood can make you to THINK and CREATE loopholes or solutions or it can make you look stupid and maybe make you feel that every effort you want to put into making your life a better one would be effortless and wasteful because if you look around you, you we notice other people sharing that same slum with you and they have tried and failed and this might make one feel discourage and when you go to bed with such discouraged thought in your mind, it affect your mood thereby projecting a negative event in your dream and when you wake up such in your mind, it will make you worthless and you might end up putting limits to you GOALS in life. N.B I constantly used the word MIGHT, it because it comes down to how you manipulate your dreams to our favor or against you, so be careful of your MOODS.

(2) THE ENVIRONMENT: Means the surroundings of, and influences on, a particular item of interest or it’s the natural world or ecosystem, either way you might put it, it still comes down to “what we are surrounded with’’ the environment also plays a vital role in affecting our dreams because it is a major LIFE influencer. How the environment sometimes do inspire us to be great, and it can ONLY happen if and when we can maneuver those different elements that are present in our environment to our own ENDS e.g. the people around us can inspire us to be better than what are and we can LEARN from them and also DREAM to be like them. THE SOCIAL MEDIA is also a factor present in the environment as well, because what we LISTEN TO and WATCH do effect our mental disposition can either inspire US to dream and even go BEYOUND OUR DREAMS TO MAKE THEM A REALITY!

There are many examples but let me stick with this because am sure you all understand.

(3) YOU AND ME: it may sound weird but its TRUE but we do sometime set close doors in making our dream a reality e.g.’ (Our Daily Manna) Diego Armendo Maradona, the then 44-year-old Argentina ‘god’ of soccer, made a dramatic move from the pitch to the tube with the first edition of his talk show, tagged “THE NIGHT OF THE NUMBER 10” he had a dream of reducing his bloated stomach size after recovering from his drug addiction problems and he was encouraged by a former leading doctor to go on liquid diet for 3months and he (Maradona) did it. OR take a look at the LATE NELSON MANDELA who was jailed for 27years, he had a DREAM of a seeing a great south Africa free from colonial depression and after so many years they (south Africa) became free at last!!! That’s the power of going beyond your dream and not setting limitation to our goals or dream and we all know of Abraham Lincoln who happens to be one of America greatest president of all times, he even has a memorial built in his name and structure. He wasn’t just a great president for nothing but he was a great president who believed in himself who before he became the president of America failed his election 3to4 times but he never let that dump his dreams and he kept on pushing and pushing even when it seems like all odds were against him but he kept on pushing till he became the president (his dream). So please do not place closed doors or road blocks to your dreams because BEYOUND DREAMS MEANS MAKING YOUR DREAM A REALITY,

SO TRY TO THINK POSITIVELY, USE YOUR ENIVIRONMENT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND NEVER EVER SET BLOCKAGE IN MAKING YOUR DREAM A REALITY.
