Whether you’re 3 or 300, you should never give up on your ability to dream the dreams that could help others.
You’re a wonderful design…a unique creation of God. You’re not exactly like any of the other 7 billion people on the Earth. So, whether you’re sleeping or awake, your dreams won’t be exactly like anyone else’s either.
Of course, sometimes we dream the dreams our minds put together from a mish-mash of things we did during the day. They don’t make any sense. They’re just for fun. If you’ve ever dreamed about flying high above the trees or clouds, you know what I mean. In real life you can’t do that, but in your dreams it’s so much fun.
Other times you might find yourself sitting in the shade of your favorite tree just thinking. Those are times when you can dream impossible things…and then use your wonderful brain to think of ways to make those dreams come true. Many famous inventors had some of their best thoughts under a shade tree, or in a swing, or sitting at a desk with their eyes closed. Just remember, when you take the time to daydream, you should also take the time to write down your best ideas. You might not use them right away, but you can never tell when they’ll come in real handy.
I wrote a special poem to dreamers today…because I woke up this morning after one of those silly kinds of dreams. I hope these rhymes encourage you to dream the dreams that can only come from inside your special mind.
Dream The Dreams
Waking up from silly dreams
Isn’t silly as it seems
Because dreamers are what makes the world go ’round.
With those pictures in your head
As you rise up out of bed
You might find the thing that needed to be found.
You might dream of flying cars
That go cruising through the stars,
Then design a brand new turbo rocket ship.
You might wake up from your sleep
With an awesome way to keep
People safer when they’re going on a trip.
What if you could dream a dream
That, to some, could sound extreme.
But your idea helped to ease a lot of pain?
Well, put on your dreaming hat
‘Cause we need more dreams like that,
And they’re waiting to be dreamed inside your brain.
If you’re eager to create,
And you find you just can’t wait,
And your dreams are overflowing from your ears,
Take a breath and write ’em down,
With a smile and not a frown.
Then your dreams become ideas you’ll have for years.
When you dream, don’t think it’s odd.
Dreams are thoughtful gifts from God.
They can help to give your weary mind some rest.
So relax and dream away.
Every day’s a brand new day
To begin to dream the dreams that you dream best.
