I am currently reading a book tittled ‘’put your dream to the test’’. This period is actually one of my greatest trial time, coping with school, blogging , relationships and life itself has always being a tremendous thing I find pleasure in doing ; but at certain period in our lives we need to know what our dreams is worth. I have come across people who has one way or the other mistaken for fantasy for their dreams.
When I started blogging two years ago, the goal was and is still ‘’ to speak for the unheard and to informed the uninformed. As the day went by , blogging has always being to impact wisdom, academic information or make someone get appreciated for what they do naturally.
I will be discussing five fantasy that often look likes dreams and most times lead people astray, we all have this very interesting thing we want to do , but the moment the happiness coming from that thing is what pushes us to more then it is not a dream but fantasy .
1. Idealistic dreams.
A survey was carried out in a student area, an ideal person has this dream of what will happen if he is in charge of something, a position or the way the world will be if he was to be in charge, idealistic dreams is not something that drives the owner due to the success he or she might has as a source of inspiration, idealistic dream is that one which thinks makes the dreamer think about the authority and power that one may have if he is in charge.
2. Material dreams.
A group of student were picked at random and asked few questions, what would you do if you were given a billion dollars each, few of then said they will go shopping , eat, relax watch some movies, buy new smart phone, get a new car. The dream a peesib has which bring about the belief that you possessing a certain material in your care or possession will make you happy.
3. Career dreams.
Everyone wants to become something , some people believes making good grades to become a good doctor is what will make them happy and fulfilled, that could be true to some extent but we have lots of great and rich medical doctors who are not neccessarily happen, career dreams is that feeling you have of becoming a certain personality in your area of learning with the hope that it will make you happy for life.
4. Destination dreams.
A lot of people believe a dream is about getting to a destination, of course it is if we should put it that but, what makes it a dream is it has a driven force of something unseen that gladdens your heart that you are making whatever sacrifice you find yourself making for that particular dream interesting.
destination dream is this unhealthy fantasy that people have which make them believe that reaching a certain goal would make them happy, for example ; after writing jamb we all believe gaining admission into higher institution will make us happy.
5. Romantic dreams
This is the dream of fantasizing about being happy because you are married to someone or having this believe that marrying or being in a relationship with a certain person will make you happy, all the above dreams are not valid dream when it comes to living and not just existing , a dream is an inspiring picture of the unseen but expected future which strengthens your will, mind, and emotions, giving you the courage that you can do all things at any time.
If it is less than this then it is either a fantasy as I consider it or an invalid ones worthy of a person’s life as john Maxwell considered it.
