Dreams

Dreams; daydreams, or fantasies, not nocturnal dreams, are what sets us apart from the animal kingdom. We humans have a fascinating capacity for evisioning the future. Dreams take on various and myriad shapes and sizes. Some people dream big, they want it all, so to speak, while others' dreams are more modest. Mine lie in the latter catagory. I personally think modest dreams are far more enchanting; they lend themselves to be much more honest and worthwhile, not to mention much more obtainable. People who dream big, usually fall into one of two catagories- they're either movers and shakers, who are used to getting what they want; the Trumps and Gates and Rockerfellers fall into this catagory, or they are totally, massively egotistical. Truthfully, the only people I can think of who fall into this catagory are most of our present-day celebrities. Some folks who hit big ticket lottery jackpots usually succumb to this type of dreaminess as well. Modest dreamers are usually people who are either well grounded in life, or like me, find themselves on the short end of a long stick. Most of the time I don't mind being here, it's made who I am, but the dreams I have call for a much more secure and ordered life. The unique thing about dreams is that they can be tailored to fit anyone. We often hear about the"American Dream", which in all actuality is pretty much a misnomer, especially in today's economic climate, but there are those, who through sheer will, make those dreams come true. If nothing else, dreams keep hope alive, and we can surely use all the hope we can get.
