8 billion people on the Earth. And just about every one of them dreams. Because dreaming is free. So, it’s affordable for just about anybody. But here’s the thing.
Dreaming is free, but it’s also not mass produced.
In other words, no two people will dream the exact same dream. Because no two people share the exact same brain or thoughts in those brains. So think about that for a second. It’s another example of how you are incredibly unique. By design.
Now, since dreaming is free, you don’t have to wait till you go to bed to dream something up. 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 daydreams it’s a piece of cake. Speaking of cake, you could even imagine yourself flying on a slice.
Yeah, you can daydream impossible things. Because God gave you a wonderful brain loaded with imagination. And sometimes you can even find ways to make your 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, take the time to write down your best ideas. You might not use them right away. But who can tell when they’ll come in real handy.
Several years ago I wrote this special poem to encourage you to use your imagination to…
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. © 2013 TF
