Dream on
|
Dream on Every time that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got their dues in life to pay Yeah, I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody's sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life's in books' written pages Live and learn from fools and from sages You know it's true All the things come back to you Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears Sing with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away Dream on, dream on, dream on Dream yourself a dream come true Dream on, dream on, dream on And dream until your dream comes true Dream on I was always very much interested in dreams...Not as a means of learning about the future or even more for predicting it, for me after Freud we are done with such a thing. But I think that, first of all, dreams are a very good way of releasing bad, negative feelings ‒ pain, fear, frustration and so on. Even if that means that they turn into nightmare sometimes...But this release they provide to us is something very important and useful too. And that goes for both cases of dreams, the «real» ones we have when we are sleeping and the other ones we have when we are awake, call them daydreams or with any other name you like. In the first case it is our subconscious that is let loose and is almost free to «express» itself and in the second case we are fully conscious and it is our mind really that takes hold. But there isn’t an absolute and clear dissociation between those two, I mean that in both cases soul and mind play a part though to a different extent in each one. And this is probably what I find more interesting about dreams...If we come to think of it, dreams ‒ all kinds of them ‒ are the one and only time that our soul and mind get to be so close to one another, sometimes they are even in touch. That just means the two elements of our inner world functioning together which is really no mean feat... Of course there is something not very pleasant about dreams and I know that very well...It is the fact that more often than not they tend to not be realized, to not be fulfilled. I think though that this is not enough really to diminish their importance, even their worth too... But even with that taken for granted...only the trying, the effort of pursuing the fulfilment of a dream is something that is very life affirming, most times it is enough for giving you a very nice feeling. And of course even the few times that you manage to turn one of your dreams into reality...the feeling is not just nice but really a very happy one, almost bliss in some cases. Speaking about this in the last few years and after too much observing of life ‒ not only my own but the whole of it ‒ I think that I discovered a way that can help anybody to have more of his/her dreams fulfilled. Not all of them of course but a great deal more than usual...And it’s really very simple, it is only based first exactly on the observation of life and secondly on the fact that our mind is also a factor of the dreams, together with the soul. It’s nothing more than some trying to dream of things that are somehow close to reality...I believe that it is more than obvious that then it is much more possible for your dreams to be realized some day. I feel though that I have to explain a little more what I mean here...But exactly because every person is really different than any other and that goes even more for the vast, literally without borders realm of the dreams it is actually much easier to do that by using some examples. For instance, if I even dare to dream that I could wake up one day without having made all of the mistakes that I have made in the past and with all the bad things that have happened to me somehow deleted...then I just need urgent professional help! If I dream that there is even the slightest possibility that suddenly all of my problems will be solved and my life will turn into a bed of roses and even more ‒ that’s the best part really! ‒ that this would happen without me doing anything about it then I’m just an idiot. To the point probably that the right to dream should be taken from me by law... But it’s a completely different story if I dream that at some point in the future I will have much more time for myself than I have now and many more better and more interesting things to do in that time. That is really to «dream yourself a dream come true», something that under some certain conditions and with a little trying is quite possible to happen...Such a dream can involve and somebody else except us. In the aforementioned example I can also dream that somebody else would also have at that point more time for himself/herself and that we would be able to share those free and beautiful moments...And finally such an easier ‒ to ‒ be ‒ realized dream could be only about somebody else and not at all about us. Can you think of a better dream than, let’s say, one in which you help a little and in some way somebody who has lost the will or the ability to dream to find that again, even if it is only by making him/her to feel like...dreaming again? Because I really can’t... (The title and the lyrics are of course taken from a song off the very first Aerosmith album which also happens to be their first hit. It was 1973 and Steven Tyler was still a promising young singer in a quite good hard rock band and not ‒ like today ‒ worldwide known as one of the more famous celebrity junkies, Liv Tyler’s father and an old, hysteric prima donna in<b> spandex...</font></b>sorry, I meant the frontman of one of the most boring groups on the planet that is capable only of bland ‒ as ‒ fuck rubbish like «I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing» when they don’t toss off on the unsuspecting public irritating, homophobic ‒ though supposedly humorous...- crap like «Dude (Looks Like A Lady)» (at least there is an occasional «Janie’s Got A Gun» to save the day). Personally I think that this song is still their best...And the fact that a very few years before it was extensively ‒ the whole main chorus ‒ and very effectively sampled by Eminem is proof both of how good it actually is and that the obnoxious dickhead from Detroit - except than being a truly talented rapper ‒ has a great taste in music!) Just me but with all the ego left at the door... |

well i will start my comment this time by the end of your post and answer in your question...no indeed there isnt a better dream....in fact is one of the reasons that i write poetry... Now your post is really strong and clear enough and really couldnt agree more with you. When i usually talk or write about dreams i mean most of the times the so called day dreams or "life-dreams" as i called them. For these dreams your analysis couldnt be better. Short and straight to the point. I would just like to add an element that cant seem to be find in your post about those dreams. That is the power of vision. I know that having that power means at the same time that you got elements as strong faith, will to live in the path of true e.t.c. So considering this power as a must at least for my life dreams helps me to find the ballance between observing real world and trying to fit it in my real needs. clown in the shadows

really it was 1973?? so much for being a Chilean... mmm... dream on, dream again, continue dreaming, dream... i guess i'll try to stick to the dreaming of soul and mind together. sweet dream. ("Si se callase el ruido"--if noise would become silent--by Ismael Serrano, dream sinchronicity of posts? Well, Calderón de la Barca said it, La vida es sueño ... time for me to sleep) Good day to you.

But I have to say that if I was forced to take another song of them that would be "Walk This Way" though I really prefer the Run DMC version in which Tyler and co are just guesting...
