What happened to the child inside of us? What happened to our perceptions about dreams? When we hear a child dreaming of the future and building his future inside his/her mind and then sharing it with us, we adore the child and hold high expectations and start imagining our child achieving the dream. We even try to support any hint of a dream that child has.

Then the child grows to become near adulthood. The child inside him/her is still there dreaming, but what happens to the people who are listening to those dreams now. They would start with such statements "stop dreaming and come back to reality." "Who do you think you are? Einstein?" "Do you think any body would buy this idea?" "This is too risky, stick with what you know." Finally the statement with the label, "You are nothing but a dreamer."

We have committed a murder. We have killed the dream and with it we have killed the person and any other person who would dare to dream. This way we have conducted a massacre of a whole society. We have killed the only thing that makes us live our lives with passion. Look at us living our lives from 9 to 5 like robots. Punching in our cards and just as we do that we look at our watches hoping the time to punch out comes quickly. Hoping for the weekend to come so as to sleep longer or sit on the couch watching TV and killing time. Killing time, once we have committed the first murder of our dream we got used to killing. Now we are killing time. What are we going to kill next?

The story is not that grim. There is some good news. Dreams do not share the same features of other living creatures. Dreams can be revived, they just need the right environment and they can flourish. If you take the time to look inside yourself, and by the way you do not have to dig deep into yourself, you will find your dream waiting for you, hoping that you will find it.

Some people are capable more than others to find their dreams. Life coaching was invented for that particular reason. To make a person move from one dream to another. From one level to the higher. Life coaching will help a person identify the dream, recognize the steps that need to be taken, plan the work and supports the person to implement and work the plan until the dream is achieved. Can you imagine the beauty of this feeling, and the good news don't stop here. Now you can create a new dream and start the process of achieving this new dream. What a wonderful life this is.Yes I used "is" and not "would be." Because we need to live our dreams today as it is the highway to realizing it.

It is time to revive our dreams. Dreaming is not an act out of reality, it is an act to look at reality from a different angle. Some would say that reality does not change. I will not tell them that we can change our reality as this is a discussion that will never end. I would say a dream makes the same reality a beautiful place to live in. When we live with passion, our minds will perceive the same reality with a totally different perspective. 

We will change the tone of the dreaming vocabulary. Instead of "keep on dreaming" we would say "KEEP ON DREAMING."
