Dreams
December 1st, 2009
Dreams are really cool things. They let you play out scenes that you would not or could never play out in real life like the dream I had last week featuring Katherine Heigel. Boy did that one come out of left field. But I digress.
Dreams also help to sort things out that are jumbled around in our brains. I can tell you that the last several months have really shown this to be true. It has been a while since I have gotten up at 2:00, 3:00, or 4:00 in the morning because my brain was working on software development hurdles that were too difficult to solve during normal “awake” hours. As many of you know, I have been diligently writing code for the last several months writing the RFS Short Sale Manager which will be released today or tomorrow. My wife experienced me waking up at all hours of the night and morning to solve a problem I was dreaming about. It gave her flashbacks to when I wrote software as a full time job.
Dreams also help us to formulate goals and plan our future. It was a dream of a better life that brought early settlers across the Atlantic to the “New World.” It was a dream of a better life that took us westward to California. It was dreams of a better life that brought technology to us that we take for granted today. It was a dream of a better life that got me into real estate. It was a dream of a better life that brought you to this website to read my blog. Every great human accomplishment came from a dream. While not necessarily a “great” accomplishment, a perfect example of this is the cell phone. The cell phone, especially flip phones, and bluetooth technology started off as a dream and shown to us on TV in the late 1960s on Star Trek.
Some people call others dreamers as a put down. But not to dream is to stay stagnant in life. I say to you dream and dream big. You never know where it will lead you.
