"I don't dream at night. I dream all day; I dream for a living". Steven Spielberg.

One of the greatest truths to be told

Is that it is the dreamers who propel the world forward

Towards its fullest potential for new discoveries

We do not need to be asleep to dream

For if one does not dream and visualize new horizons

Then for what purpose do we keep reaching for the stars, and

Dream of walking on the moon, seeking to fulfill our ambitions

Our dreams are our subconscious propelling us onwards

I had recurring night dreams, lost in random forests

For years I wandered within these woods, going in circles

Some nights I met persons who directed me somewhere

Somewhere which led me nowhere, but returned me to

The place where I had already been, starting over again

Other times I was caught on a bridge with storms raging

Tossing me dreadfully back and forth, in terror of drowning

My bridge would sway awfully, yet I never fell, not once

My final dream after the many years, was my answer

I found my way onto a beautifully paved unending road

There was no one and nothing in sight. Just the road

I started walking up this road, not down, down would

Be regressing, not progressing, so I chose the former

My life mirrored those dreams. I fought hard for survival

After many years, the rocks gradually became kinder to my feet

I could breathe a little easier. I could see my way forward

There are still rocks, but now I can build a bridge over them

Dreams are the foundation of our everyday lives

Without dreams we are doomed to failure

I never want to awaken from dreaming

Whether I am awake or sleeping, I too am dreaming!
