Dreams
September 11, 2012Dreams –
When I first read that “dreams are what you wake up from”, I didn’t understand what it meant and felt it was too sober, too pessimistic;
Nobody likes to be too sober perhaps, to stare life in the face.
Then many years later I came across a Japanese poem, in it was a line that was repeated three times:
“For dreams — they will be broken.” x3
I tried to reject it x3, too defeatist, nobody likes to talk about broken dreams, you just don’t put the two words together, I don’t care.
Dreams –
Now, I have to admit and realise that sometimes, yes “dreams are what you wake up from” and sometimes, yes they can be broken.
That’s just a fact of life, be able to face it, nothing sad actually, ok a bit sad.
Well, sometimes they can’t be realised or fall short, simple as that, but that doesn’t mean you’re pessimistic, or lack imagination.
The truth is
Dreams –
they give us something to look forward to, to work for; they brim with potential and give us a sense of great unfulfilled and unrealised potential;
make us feel we’re bigger and better and more important than we just are at a point; that we’re meant for greater things;
that take us away into our own world, a virtual world, do away with the harshness and judgement of this world;
a peaceful, quiet place where you find solace and comfort, less consciousness, friendlier lighting, gravity defying even,
greater elasticity and expansivity of thought, creativity, and imagination, life, more than life itself,
to be put into action, hope, faith, daring, effort, toil, reward.
there to be dreamt of, fought for, still pursuing; on the brink, already fulfilled and realised; there to be broken; there
Like sleep, like emotions, like change of tide, like day and night,
Dreams –
We go in and out of them;
Dreams –
I still believe in you.
“I have a dream.”
It’s still the same dream.
i always have bad dreams but i love to dream, my dream is to retire in a farmhouse like you hehehe
for bad dreams i always have to “tell” to break it. for good dreams i just smile to myself and hope it will come true, so far some did ;)
may all your good dreams and wishes come true especially for you my dearest prince xoxo <3
and YES i am FIRST finally ! woohoo!!
Dream(ing), a temporary escape from the reality.
For what it may come, hope you continue to dream and hopefully it will come true for you. (:
Me too. I’m definitely a dreamer.
Don’t stop dreaming, even when you are awake!
Dreams are unique and special.
Dreams make the impossible possible.

Very accurate for my dreams!
Totally agree with the truth about dreams! Dreams come from within and reveal things we are too afraid to pursue, reveals things we are capable of.
But dreams will remain dreams if it’s not put into action, so let’s build up courage and perseverance, to fulfil those dreams! :) Even if they are eventually not fulfilled, there won’t be regrets and what if-s.
Dream on!! :D
Thanks for sharing. I believe in dreams and I believe that dreams do come through as long as one does not give up.
Dream! :) I believe in your believe & I believe in my believe. Yes, I have a Dream, it’s still the same too! Fighting! Yes, dreams are what you wake up from, Let’s make our Dream come True! be it big or small:) Jiayou Everyone!
i like this piece of writing. what is the poem?
Dreams are meant to be fulfilled,and need courage to make it come true too.
I still believe in you too because the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of the dreams…
You are still young, dream something you would like to do in the future but don’t take too long to fulfill it or the dream will remain a dream.
In my sunset years, perhap others could fulfill my dream. Now I am not bothered if my dream would be fulfilled, it could someone who is in the better position to carry out that dream.
I randomly came across this site and coincidentally wrote a poem the night before about forgotten “dreams” personify by our individual “lucky star”, if for a moment it does it make any sense. So, here’s something to maybe whisper into your soul and to nudge that little faith that might slip away.
Where art thou, my lucky star?
If every star was destined for every individual,
have you ever wondered where yours went?
When you made a wish and it never came,
you made a prayer that was never sent.
If a million stars shone across the universe,
have you wondered if yours remained forgotten?
That you could never interrupt fate,
no writer to alter what has been written.
If every star would twinkle with every individual breath,
have you ever wondered if yours would just shine a little stronger toinght?
Where art thou,my lucky star?
Won’t you try a little harder, with all your might?
Dream is an escape from reality and gives a false sense of hope. The bigger your dream, the harder you fall. You need courage to dream and attempt to materialize it and I agree that dreams give you something to look forward to. But I believe no expectations, no disappointments :)
我们因有梦想而伟大. Don’t stop dreaming. :)
Dreams… I used to believe and I still will believe. Because dreams are what we live for, isn’t it?
Someone who I called my world is the dream I always wanna catch. After he left, I don’t know what’s a dream anymore. But I still hope him to be back one day. I think that’s how dreams work like? I don’t know.
Having a dream is a process of growing up, be it dreams came true or broken, we grew from it.
All the best having your dreams come true.
elvin , we are dreaming 24/7, in reality we wonder are we dream, and at night, when we think we are not dreaming but we are dreaming! dream dream dream oppa gangnam style!!! sexy lady, sexy elvin! elvin forever !!!!
“We go in and out of them;
Dreams –
I still believe in you.
“I have a dream.”
It’s still the same dream.”
Especially like the last few lines. In life, at times we lose faith in things we once hold dearly, on and off this kind of emotions and thots surface, but end of the day we bounce back because that is what made us US.
Thx for the sharing…i will never give up tp acheive my dreams
I super agree with this line “Nobody likes to be too sober perhaps, to stare life in the face”
Life is but a dream, eternity is the reality….
Yes, everyone will have a dream. It doesn’t matter what kind of dream you have cos it is still a dream…haaaa.
This is touching. Everyone has dreams just that some haven realise it yet. Always look forward to your dreams. It would motivate you in all ways. It would keep you going no matter what. Be a DREAMER, not a DAYDREAMER…
Dreams about previous lives happened before to me. Very realistic. Every success started with a “dream” too!
Gambatehhhhhhhhh….always support ELVIN NG CHOON SIONG

hey elvin (; i love reading your posts, so relatable and philosophical, please do post more alrite ! (:
Hi…am I now dreaming? Am I really going to get married? Somehow I feel insecure. Should I pull the plug? He always has sms at night. Even since last year a series of incidents I feel insecure about it. A voice tells me he can be trusted. Another voice tells me his female friends cannot be trusted. Maybe because I hv not seen them. Maybe because they are so young. Maybe because he had a previous girlfriend is of their age. Left 2 more months for wedding. Should I be the runaway bride? Tell him my insecurity? Ever since sawing how a female can seduce my ex n how he can do things without sharg my feelings….this feelg is so hard to bear. Maybe I m too sensitive.
