Holding on to Dreams

Hold fast to dreams,
for if dreams die, life is
a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly.
​~ Langston Hughes

Dreams are  many things including: the night visitations that we may or may not remember, and that are symbolic messages from our unconscious mind; the ideas and hopes of how we would like to live, whether or not we believe we can really achieve or be this;  and the ideas and hopes we may have about what this country and the world could be - free of hunger, war, hate and violence of all kinds. John Lennon's iconic line comes to mind:  "you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."
At times it can be extremely challenging to hold onto your consciously held dreams- the personal ones after disappointment or loss as well as your dreams for your community or the world in times of uncertainty, danger and war or threats of war. Yet these dreams provide guidance, inspiration and direction for the next step, for what action is called for to  move toward bringing your dreams to fruition.
Similarly, dreams while sleeping are messages from your inner world, from your unconscious mind, providing insight and guidance in an even deeper way than your conscious dreams can. Dreams can be difficult to decipher at times, but if you can get into the feeling of the dream, and the personal meaning of the symbols, profound insight and guidance, as well as a deep understanding of your life in the moment, is provided to you!
Following your dreams, keeping them alive, living your dreams, is an essential part of a life well lived. What are you dreaming?
