On Dreams

What you
dream to be
is a dream.

What you
become
is a dream.

Whatever you do or do not imagine,
the distance between here and
what becomes of you
is a dream.

What is it
that is not
a dream?

What would life be like if all of your dreams came true? Would you be living better? Have you lived dreams beyond anything you have imagined? Lived life better or worse than you’ve dreamed? Have your dreams turned into nightmares? What have you done? Have you blamed your imagination? Did you not dream well enough, or did you fail to bring dreams to life? What if the best thing in your life happened when none of the dreams you imagined came to life?

3 ideas on bringing life to your dreams:

  1. Don’t let reality stop you from dreaming well.

  2. If you are living a dream you did not imagine, make it the best thing ever.

  3. If bringing big dreams to life has previously disappointed you, don’t let it stop you from dreaming bigger and better ones.

3 questions to ask yourself on dreaming well:

  1. What practice do you use to dream?

  2. What makes a dream worth building for you?

  3. When do you decide to give up on your dreams?

3 insights on dreams

I have learned that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Don’t get lost in your dreams. If you can keep a distance from your dreams, you will come to know the only reality that remains forever, which has no birth and no death — that is your pure consciousness, that is your divine consciousness. You can give it any name, it doesn’t matter…it is the Buddha nature within you, or it is the God within you.
