THE RENOWNED Urdu poet Parveen Shakir has said: “Neend jab khwabon se pyaari ho to aaise waqt mein, Khwab dekhe koun aur khwabon ko de tabeer koun? (in times when we love to sleep, who would care to dream and give the sound interpretations).
I couldn’t agree less with her as I also believe that our gigantic and insurmountable problems of today are the product of our inability to dream. We have become too much of realist and we have stopped dreaming.
Dreams serve purposes -sometimes known and often unknown. Religious authorities do have their own parochial style to describe and explain dreams while gnostic dream experts focus on the scientific approach of what causes dreams. According to the famous dream analyst and author Craig Webb, “Usually we define a dream as an experience remembered upon awakening that comes through nonphysical channels. Basically, it is an altered experience we have when we are sleeping and that we remember when we wake. However, there are lots of other variations on the definition. Some people define dreams as life’s goals and wishes for the future.
This is another way we use the word. There is actually a pretty direct link between the two because often we dream of great wishes and future hopes in our sleep. Dreams can be a pleasurable experience for many. In other cases, dreams can take on a horrifying manifestation in the mind. Whether you have a bad or good dream, both cause the body to recycle itself in a way.”
Without going in to the complex psychological pedantics, let us consider the simple dream. It often acts as a leveler. In dreams we meet the people we hate; we feel the people we love - those who have been too far or too near but out of reach; we reach the places we have never seen; we solve the problems of real Mathematics and Physics. The panorama changes before we bat the eyelid. There is no charge on dreams.
And when the things go bad to worst we see the hallucinations. Dream is the sum total where we integrate things we have consciously or unconsciously learn and experience during the day. Good dreamers are usually sound in health and a good dream improves the quality of our life. People often claim to meet the deities and get guidance through super-natural encounters. Unfortunately, the author has no such claims to make.
Dreaming is must for a happy life. For that we have to construct a collage of our hopes and aspirations which lead us to the quality of life we want to live and kind of individual we want to become. Paint that collage with the ideals you want to follow and final shape of a useful human being you want to become. It is template for real life and there is no limit to your imagination. Aim as high as you want. Cut and paste from the lives of others. You are not at a cross with anyone here. Trust yourself, trust in your own goodness and be positive. Dreams become reality one day.
