The Power Of Dreams

by Dwayne Gilbert

The title of this article is the power of dreams, and I am talking about both types of dreams. The ones we have in our hearts while we are awake, and the ones that we hold in our minds at night as we sleep. Both are powerful forces in our lives, and both need to be recognized and listened to on a regular basis.
The dreams we hold in our hearts during our waking hours dictate much of what we do and the decisions we make on a regular basis. These should be the things that create passion deep inside of us. The parts of us that move us to do more with ourselves and our lives. The pieces of our lives that give us something to wake up for every morning. Be it in love, business, pleasure, or whatever part of our lives. Our dreams are what turn us into the people we become, and the choices we make to get there shape our character. The people with out dreams are the ones who die the quickest, on the inside and the outside.
Our dreams at night on the other hand are a little bit different. These are a direct reflection into our emotions and our desires and our hopes. It is our subconscious mind trying to communicate with us. Tell us what is really going on inside of us and sometimes on the outside in the world around us. Our dreams need our attention on a regular basis because they give us incredible insight into where we currently are. Our emotions and our reactions to things.
For example, I had a dream last night that I was on a train and I had a human heart. I had to protect that human heart from ghosts that were coming to get it. I wasn't afraid or anything of these ghosts because I knew that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get the heart from me. I had to pay attention and be careful, but I just knew they wouldn't be able to get it. I believe this dream means that I have to be careful with my heart as I keep it out in the open from the ghosts of not only my past, but of my present. I am still not sure what the train was all about, or why all of this happened at night in my dream, but that will come with a little more reflection.
The point though is that our dreams tell us a lot of information that we should pay attention to. Our waking dreams and desires tell us where we want to go and what path we should be on to find our own sense of happiness and peace. Our dreams at night help us know if we are on the right path or not. Learn to listen to all your dreams. They are incredibly powerful forces and offer insight into many different parts of ourselves and our lives.
