VENTURES TO A DREAM

Would that more dreams we love would become reality. It does make one wonder why it can't be that way. I struggle at times when why our minds can see such fantastic things and we have no power to make them reality.

True, fantasy is the realm where physical laws don't apply. I understand this. It just doesn't make wish our dreams could come true more often.

I have wondered at times what the point is of imagining such joys if we are never going to know them in reality. It does seem to sad, almost cruel to be filled with images that make us so happy, but will never be realized.

How many of us have pondered futility the issue of why we need to be tormented with feelings that will never become more than a lingering sensation. It does seem so sad at times.

Yet, would we enjoy live better without dreams? Would only facing sadness and never the slightest relish of hope improving our situations?

Dreams do have such a variety of meanings and purposes. Some people have devoted their careers to trying to understand them.

And with my writer's brain my dreams often get very strange. Some I know are visions, some just plain silly though.

So for me, I have more than my share of dreams about desires that just never happen. Why is the question I have asked on so many occasions.

For me I have found in part that sometimes dreams truly awaken some aspect to our feelings and desire we might have tried to deny. So in the awakening we are given a chance to learn something about ourselves.

That is providing we are willing to look at a given dream for learning purposes. Some will some will not.

I feel God will help us in that regard if we seek him in prayer. And even if the dream was dark in nature he can help shine light into the darkness.

Sometimes finding out we do have a dark side is the really hard part. Some people really can't accept that part of reality.

But I also know how God wants to help us see where we fail to look. All that we can truly embrace our real natures and in the process learn to accept his forgiveness all the more.

There are often challenges of the mind that tax the heart. You just never will pass the test if you fail to take the exam.
