Make New Dreams

“Make new dreams” is the advice I gave to a friend a few years ago, and repeated the other night, in response to a question she asked. It sounds so simple. It’s three words. How complex can it be? Right?

Well, maybe…

Dreams are tricky. They often come true. And only then do you realize they’re not all they’re cracked up to be. Anyone who has fallen out of love can attest to that. It’s a shock when we get something we’ve wanted and discover what we’ve been dreaming about doesn’t hold up in reality.

So… what to do? Make new dreams.

I honestly can’t think of any other option. Without a dream you just pass through the days without really experiencing them.

I’m busy making new dreams, myself, lately. They’re just taking shape now, but I’ll keep you posted as they develop.
