I think there are two kinds of people in this world.
The first kind are the ones who dream and fight for their dreams.With the good and bad, with their ups and downs, they fall and they stand tall again, remembering each time what they are looking for.
The second kind are the ones who had a dream, but somehow along the way they settled for a “half-dream” or “the next best thing”, as somebody told me long ago. And because a half-dream is never equivalent to a proper, full rendered dream, they crave illusions. And when they meet one, they take it as a granted property, a given, something that is meant to fill that gap in their half-happy life. What is an illusion? Well, an illusion is somehow the same as a dream. Somehow the same. The difference is that an illusion will never become your full time dream for several reasons.
First reason would be that no matter how exciting an illusion might be, a half-dream is far more real because it’s right next to you.
The second reason is fear. Of the unknown. With an illusion they would have to start all over again, from the first steps, from the very first gestures and build again everything from scratch. And what if they lose? What if their illusion will turn out being not more than the current half-dream? Imagine the disappointment of someone who treasures more the destination than the road to it.
The third reason would be possession. Because they own the illusion, because it’s meant to be there for them whenever and only when they need it. So there is no real point in transforming it into something more demanding, more challenging and life changing.
You might say that the illusions and the half-dreams might be two different kinds of their own. Well, no. You see, illusions and half-dreams can have dreams themselves. And they can become somebody’s whole dream someday.
And that’s what I dream of. That someday I’ll be someone’s full time dream. And that he’ll be my breath-taking, earth-shaking, heart-flying whole dream.
