Dreams to me is the most important thing in life! Next to air, water, sunshine and love!
To me, dream is not about thinking. Dream is not about calculations. Dreams is not about achieving your broad goals in life. Dreams are not about writing a feasibility report. And most definitely, dreams are not fantasies. In our context here, the dream that we are referring to is also not the dream that you had last night when you were sleeping. It is rather difficult to define dream in one sentence. Let me try to explain what dream is by giving an example.
As an example, a scientist or an engineer thinks of a project. That is pure thinking. He then starts to formulate ideas, concepts, visions. These are the ingredients that goes into the process of a dream. If he does this alone, it is just a dream! If he starts to share it with somebody, this dream starts to become reality!
Remember Newton? A great inventor and scientist. He did not invent gravity! He must have done lots of thinking. He must have done lots of calculations. All these is not dream. Just pure thinking. However, while sitting under an apple tree, he started to dream. That’s what day dreaming is all about, because he did that during the day! Probably, his dream was only for a few seconds. Viola! that short dream turned to reality, when an apple fall on to his head. See, when you dream alone, it is only a dream, but when you dream with others, reality begins. In this case, ‘others’ is the apple tree.
For many years I dream of running my car on water. It was just a dream and nothing materializes. However, when I start to share this dream with people around me new ideas crop up. New avenues to get information on it appears. More information pour in. Somehow, we surely can get the information we want. Today I have the full set of blueprint on how to convert my car to run it on water! So, dreams can be made to come true!
Can you see how dream can become reality? So, this has led me to ponder on the power of dream. It is thus an important thing in life that sets us in motion. However, can we live without having your own dreams? I think we can. Live on the dreams of others. What I mean here is, you here of somebody expressing his dream. An idea starts to formulate in your head. Then things will start to move, leading from one thing to another.
I have heard people saying, “I don’t have dreams”. He is not wrong. To begin with we actually don’t have anything. Are we not just a lump of flesh and that nothing within us belongs to us? Even our names were given by our parents. (you can’t claim it is your name 
). All that goes into us is the process of ‘interactions’. Be it biochemical, physical, psychological… and all the whatever…cal, it has to ‘interact’ to produce results. I guess, these are what we are made of!
I believe that, when two mind interacts, there appears the ‘third’ mind! Anybody out there do not agree with me?
On this foundation of believe, our group ‘Make Our Dreams Come True’ was created for the purpose of making anybody’s dreams come true. This is an open platform for the whole world! Anybody can join. Anybody can write anything. Anybody can leave anytime. No restriction whatsoever. We sincerely hope that we use this wisely and refrain from abuse.
Sometime, a simple dream can lead to positive changes. Let us all spend some of our waking hours to dream. Let us all make this world a better place to live. Let’s live in peace and harmony. We might not be able to change the world overnight. But we can change our mindset. Slowly and surely, if we begin to change, the whole would change too!
