Hello and Happy Monday!
Is there a possibly to enrich our lives by simply dreaming more? I had another weird dream last night and thought about it all day.
When I was a child I spent so much time daydreaming and I do remember this time so clearly playing outside pretending I am somewhere else, seeing myself living in some castle. Many scenes I played out were just so clear in my head. Clear as a movie. I do believe still that daydreaming is good for me. Of course I am not picturing myself in some castle at this point (well….) and as I get older I daydream less. Usually, our time is so occupied by running from A to B, working, tending to the needs of others more than we tend to our own needs – we are just always busy bees with complex lives and most of us don’t and can’t admit that daydreaming is something that fits our busy schedule. This schedule of productivity.
But isn’t it that dreaming is part of what indeed makes us human? Isn’t it simply in our nature and has this influence on our lives that makes us feel healthy and powerful? I think that it is important to still dream – if it is during the day or at night. I talked to many of my friends about it and most of them say they don’t dream or don’t remember their dreams. Dreaming is a good way to recharge the body I reckon and it is also supposed to be great to enhance imagination. Whenever I dream it feels like playing, that I am working with myself, trying to find new patterns and sometimes my dreams are crystal clear when I wake up and I remember everything.
My husband always says I should write my dreams down as soon as I get up. I started doing so and add them to the book I am working on when I feel it seems fitting. I just let my creativity flow. Sometimes my dreams are just insane and I wonder how my brain can come up with something like this; however, I know there are no limits when it comes to dreaming. When I talk about my dreams in the morning it seems like I am bringing them from somewhere into this world which is awesome. Like wandering ghosts.
Do you believe the saying “Dreams are but shadows? (Träume sind nur Schäume?) Do you feel emotions and see colors when you are dreaming? Do you write down your dreams sometimes? I would love to hear your thoughts.
