A Rare Harvest of Dreams!

Everyone living on this earth, some way or the other, often or at times, enters into 'dreamland'; just enjoys one‘s existence there for a while. Dreams belong to everybody; either one pursues the conscious and created dreams or one just passes over the unconscious and come-on-the-way dreams. The stories-of-times (history) hold people who had dreams and dreams that made people. It would be interesting and exciting to see where to pin the point down! It is true in the words of Oprah Winfrey who said, The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams. Life of dreams is not like the one who went to the doctor being disturbed by dreams of foot-ball matches. Doctor asks him to undergo a treatment immediately and he says, Doctor, shall we start tomorrow; because today is the final match! Life of dreams is like the one who whenever he sees a football, puts himself into the game and has the aim‘ of scoring or saving Always In Mind‘. Pelé, Messi, Kaka, Iker Casillas, Lev Yashin and others in various fields are those who lived their dreams to the full.

Borrowing the frame from the parable of the Sower, dreams can be put into four categories. Dreams that bloom and fade or here-and-gone in the morning are like seeds on the path. They are lost without a second thought. Dreams that take one to the skies or give instant wings to fly are like seeds on the rocky land. They are just groundless and have neither lasting power nor the enduring enthusiasm. Dreams that count one-among-the-many on the one hand and seem like fish out of water on the other hand, are like seeds among the thorny bush. They are deprived of attention or desperate of the unrealistic situations. Dreams that never leave one undisturbed or that ever stay alive in days to come, are like seeds that fell on the good soil. They grow and bear fruit when nurtured with care and constant support. Such a dream is a seed that would eventually branch out like a mighty tree and bear fruit abundantly. It takes deep roots in the life of a person. The one who gives everything to its growth experiences a dream-come-true. Dreaming calls for courage, because it disturbs Dreams demand determination, because it is yet to be reached. Dreams provide a prompt drive, because it propels one from within. It would be-come explicit in the words of wisdom said by Walt Disney that all our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. So, the 'yields depend on fields' in the context of the parable. The dreams depend on determination‘ in a daring venture of living by and for one‘s dreams.
