Dreams can come true......


“There is nothing like a dream to create the future” – Victor Hugo

I have dreams, not blow a candle out and wish real hard throwaway dreams, nor get rich quick or sudden fame or fortune type of dreams. The dreams which play out in my mind are these days more altruistic, and less selfish.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing personal wealth and fame; however, you must dream your happiness to run alongside your success.

So to truly believe and succeed, the everlasting circle certainly symbolises this.

Could life be so simple, and that dreams albeit subconsciously can themselves be self fulfilling prophesies?

A goal without a plan is just a dream!

A vision without action is just a dream?

A vision without execution is just a hallucination?

A life without dreams is like a garden without flowers?

A goal without a plan is just a wish?

“The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it” – Michelangelo

Ok, in the middle of this blog, it would seem that I am talking to myself, however I always find it necessary for my mind to confirm what my eyes can see in front of me, and a dream becoming a self fulfilling prophesy resonates on a positive vibration with me.


So let’s explore this, dreams, ideas, visions, beliefs, goals, ability, self worth can all suffer or prosper in what is called the ‘Thomas Theorem’

This theory states "If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences." So this could be all about one person’s perception in the situation they find themselves in.

I suppose that self fulfilling prophesies are always playing the protagonist in many a novel or cheap straight to DVD feature film.

Another version of this theory is called ‘The Oedipus effect’ the oracle (the protagonist or the dream) announced the ‘prophesy’ that Oedipus would kill his father for the love of his mother. The oracle, instead of encouraging Laius to break the ‘prophesy’ actually instigated it.

The legend of Romulus and Remus, Herod and Jesus of Nazareth and various others are all based of self fulfilling prophesies.

We give such credence to our own limited beliefs, but let’s make them real again and relative.

It won’t work
I am always late
I am not lucky
I won’t get that job
I won’t pass
I am not attractive
I will never be rich

This is why I do believe in affirmations, to break the cycle and turn a self defeating prophesy to a self fulfilling positive and successful philosophy.

So back on topic, and to the mystical and comforting world of dreams, it would seem that dreams are seen as wistful thinking and cannot take away planning and creative vision. This is a common view, not shared by me.

There is something in dreams, and with self discipline and living a clean conscious life, should transpire to our subconscious creative soul.

To explain dreams, I have done this with myself does require a leap of faith, and ignoring the brutal reality of someone likes Rene Descartes (I think there I am); dreams can serve as a seed towards an ultimate goal.

I heard Dr Wayne Dyer explain this best, when he describes a seed from an oak tree, it bears no resemblance to a tree, even if you cut it open and examine it fully. However, you know that inside, there is treeness. It just needs a few things to get that way.

Dreams are the same, so a seed will need luscious soil, water, sun and nurturing the same principle could be use for our most inner lucid thoughts or dreams.

The matrix does not control me, I ignore the oracle, I am not the victim of my circumstance, I am not a bad person, and I am NEVER going to highlight the negative and will ONLY accentuate the positive.

I will close my eyes tonight, and this very day will dream my happiest dream, the vision for the rest of my life will start to grow and tomorrow ................ will start to live it.

Sleep tight
