Tell The Last Man Who Will Dream Of Turning Off The Moon
“Dreaming is not just for children
Few things define the human being as the ability to dream, to go beyond one’s closest reality to fix one’s aspirations, one’s desires.
Dreaming means touching the moon, but always having your feet firmly on the ground “
And you… have you stopped dreaming? We know you haven’t. That there are no moments in which your gaze is lost where the mind guides your personal aspirations, your secret desires, but that you have always dreamed of.
Children dream and stage their own ideas and fantasies in each of their games. We adults, on the other hand, since we are obliged to maintain our integrity and discretion, dream in silence and with a wide open gaze.
You will certainly share the idea that the human being is made up of dreams. Indeed, there is more. We can safely say that every moment of our daily life is full of memories and desires.
What does this all mean? That our mind, always restless and voracious, makes us travel among the episodes of the past to compare them with the desires of the future in which part of our happiness is contained.
One way or another, we always aspire to get something specific, to experience more positive emotions, the ones we keep in our dreams, sometimes, why deny it, in an idealized way.
Does it hurt to dream? Absolutely not, we are all born with wings, with those invisible limbs that guide us towards our projects, towards our castles in the air where the foundations must be built. Today we are talking about this.
Dreaming to escape from reality?
Dreaming to escape from reality …? We have all done it at least once in our life and this does not mean that it should be defined as immature or even less pathological behavior.
In those moments of our life cycle when, for example, we are suffocated with problems, dreams act as cathartic ways. As an escape route.
When you live a difficult childhood during which the bond with your family is not very close and you suffer, dreams often represent an island of peace on which to survive.
Despite this, if there is something positive in the simple action of dreaming it is that, at times, it helps us to understand that the reality we are living does not make us happy.
If we use dreams as a refuge, it means that we are running away from something and, therefore, we must become aware of it and then react.
All children who live a traumatic childhood dream of a better future, in a warmer and more affectionate environment. Full of happiness.
When the time comes, those dreams must serve as “engines of life”, as powerful cogs that allow us to react and build the path we want, according to our desires and our dreams.
Dreams are, at the same time, daily shelters and wonderful escape routes. However, one cannot live forever on those islands of peace, in those perfect paradises. Dreams must be windows from which to look out and then dig into oneself. Once we understand what we need, the engine of change can begin to move our reality.
Dreams – aspirations worth achieving
Life is a continuous dream that must be built day after day with joy, optimism and energy. The moment we “get stuck” due to the suffering or problems that sometimes hit us, reality becomes gray and life stops being a dream and turns into a nightmare.
What can we do? Should we resort to drugs, pills against the pain of living?
We know it well, finding a unique solution that is useful to everyone is impossible, since each of us is unique in their sadness, in their personal suffering.
Despite this, you must remember that you must never stop dreaming. It is precisely in dreams that our personal aspirations are hidden, those that can help us build authentic happiness, so … why be ashamed? Why say that dreams are smoke castles good only for children?
Write down these simple tips:
– We must dream with wings well spread, with an awake mind and feet on the ground. What does this all mean? That our dreams must be feasible. It’s not about aspiring to the unattainable: having a romantic relationship with that movie actor or actress or living in a castle near a lake.
We must dream and aspire to what we really need and what can help us to grow internally, to be happy.
Do you dream of a better job? Do your best to get it. Do you dream of a romantic relationship that makes you happy? The niziate being happy yourself, then look for the right person.
– Never lose your innocence, your joie de vivre : those who stop dreaming, those who stop the flow of their dreams and desires, open the way to fears. Dreaming means being enthusiastic about living every single day, hoping that the best will happen, that happiness is hiding somewhere.
Do not lose the child who is in you and who allows you to always see the positive side of things, the light of day, the smiles of the people. Be happy, open up to the world and let it lead you by the hand showing you the best that life has to offer.
Because the moon won’t go out
as long as there is someone dreaming …
“If you have built castles in the air, the work done is not wasted; now just build the foundations underneath “(George Bernard Shaw)
