May 3 2020 - Sweet Dreams

The Pandemic Nightmare?  People constantly bumping into you. Being late for Zoom meetings.  These are the sorts of dreams being reported. The expert on the CBC talked about the top happy dreams as well.  Flying is a happy dream for most people.  "The dream encourages a person to let go of current issues and allow things to fall naturally into place."  But alas, there are no top ten lists of happy dreams.  Just nightmares.  And of course, lists and lists of what people wish, want, and dream about.

These dreams and wishes are something other than what happens in sleeping.  Dreams are things that people think about as cherished aspirations, ambitions or ideals - for example a childhood dream.   Goals are something people do something about - the object of someone's ambition or effort.  It may be that they are connected, that dreaming is a stage of forming goals:

"You have to dream before your dreams can come true."
~A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic;  it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
~Colin Powell

Follow you passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and , above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams.
~Donovan Bailey



Our picture today is the orchard of sweet dreams under the night sky.

Resolutions

This is the day when we wish each other all the best for the new year ahead.  

It is the day when improvement goals are set in our North American culture.  New Year's Resolutions are a secular tradition, but an ancient one. The Babylonians made promises to return borrowed objects and pay their debts. There seems to be lots of advice from everyone including Harvard economists on the best goals and how to achieve them.  This is followed by all sorts of studies that show that things don't actually turn out.

May your goals and dreams for 2015 all be fulfilled.
