Path of dreams

“Rêve de grandes choses, cela te permettra au moins d’en faire de toutes petites.” (Jules Renard)
I spent the evening daydreaming, dreaming impossible dreams. Fanciful? Yes. An exercise in futility? Perhaps. And yet, and yet… Allowing myself to believe that some things that seem so far out of my reach today may be well within my reach someday lets me be free to hope, to wish, to live on. After all, what is our existence based upon if not hope? It is for our dreams – even the seemingly impossible ones – that we persist. (Or perhaps especially for the seemingly impossible ones… 
) Allow me my dreams, my ambitions, my goals, no matter how simplistic or far-fetched, fanciful or dreary, and in exchange I’ll keep breathing, keep smiling, keep thinking, keep living.
And yet, and yet… Often, the only person who thinks one’s dreams are impossible is oneself.
Well, I appreciate quite a lot dreaming
Even if it not life
Why not to think of the present instant
not yesterday
not to morrow
just thunk y are on earth – full of life
just now
i HAD A LOOK AT YOUR FACE
I think y are somemone sensitive – timid
who undergoes too much what the others think of her
please be yourself – don’t care what they think
close your ears with cotton and go ahead sure of what you are
Of course we allow you your dreams but as you say, more important is that you allow them to yourself.
I ‘m sorry to have to disagree with with Harcelé ” ….dreaming, even if not life” Dreams are intrinsically part of our life since it is us who conceive them, direct them and enact them.To me they are on the contrary a very important part of life, that of unrestrained inspiration and an endless source of well being. Try talking to your dreams, reflect on what they suggest, you’ll soon see how they evolve and are eager to answer your questions, changing their scenario night after night.Don’t forget they are not impaired by moral judgment or feasibility, the very obstacles we deliberately put between them and realizing them.I often feel sorry at how most people disregard them as meaningless squabble,when on the contrary their aim is to help us grow and actualise our potentialities.
Follow your dreams, however far-flunged, you’ll be amazed at the result.
It all amounts to saying “yes” to life’s proposals, rather than “no”on the ground that we don’t see how to make them true.Just saying “yes” changes the whole picture.Life then helps us in her own way.
I’m mighty glad you’ve decided to follow your inspiration.Keep dreaming.
Salut harcelé et merci pour ton passage. I’m pleased to announce that I’m usually rather sure of myself, though I do of course fall victim to self-doubt – as do most people – from time to time. I believe there’s nothing wrong with looking to others for guidance or feedback, as long as one remains true to oneself. Don’t you think?
Elysabeth, I agree wholeheartedly with what you say about dreams being an intrinsic part of ourselves. This is true of sleep-dreaming as well as lucid dreaming, but also of our “dreams”, aka our wishes and hopes. It’s these latter ones I’ve decided to focus on now, to keep me looking ahead, rather than wallowing in any current troubles.
