What are Dreams?

“You can do anything in your dreams,” said my 6-year-old as he prepared to go to sleep tonight. I pray he never forgets this.

Dreams. What exactly are they? Are they things you hope to acquire? Things you hope to do? Things you want to be? Are they a “thing” at all? Do you just get one big dream? Can you have many dreams?

I think dreams are all of this and more.

To me dreams are something that have no time or place. No beginning and no end. They have existed since the beginning and will be here through the end. Dreams are placed inside of us when we are born to remind us of something greater within ourselves. They are hard to put into words, but easy to spot when they materialize. And even when they come true they keep on growing. Sometimes our dreams become the catalyst for others to realize their dreams.

Dreams are worth chasing. Their worth giving your life for. In the end you might discover that to dream is to be close to God. I think that’s what my son was talking about tonight. It’s a lesson I share with you.

Here is one of the greatest dreamers of our time.
