The Importance of Your Dream
By Paul Bauer

A visitor to our site asks, "Why is it important to have a Dream? I’m used to
setting goals and 'just doing it.'

Great question!! There’s a famous quote that reads "Dreams are the songs of your
heart, the children of your soul." We have seen many people who have spent their
entire lives in pursuit of money, power, fame, and more trappings of the
conscious mind and ego. It’s interesting to notice that many of these people
despite their material wealth are spiritually bankrupt. In this generation, we
are beginning to be aware that pursuing goals for their own sake is like
idolizing someone that you seek wisdom from instead of allowing their wisdom to
inspire you to your fullest potential - to your greatest heights.

Your Dreams - your waking Dreams, are important because they come from your
creative Self. When you realize your Dream - and begin to embrace it and live
it, my friend, your life will transform in such a way that you will wonder how
you could have lived your life in any other way. Your Dreams come from your
Heart - and your Spirit speaks through your Heart. Infinite Intelligence (or
God) is readily available to you when you decide to live your Dream.

Q. "What if I don't know what my Dream is?"
A. There are many ways of discovering or as I prefer to put it "re-discovering"
your Dream. I say "re-discover" because you already know deep inside what your
Dream is. All you need to do is ask and It will present itself. First, write
down the things you love to do. Ask yourself, If I could do anything in this
world, what would it be? Another way of asking would be "If you were given a
million dollars today, would you continue your current job?" What would you
choose to do? As you ponder what your Dream is, place your hand on your Heart
and sense what your Heart is trying to tell you. Close your eyes and listen to
your own wisdom. Know that you are part of Infinite Intelligence, the Source.
Feel your life Source flow through you.

Q. "Do my waking Dreams differ from my dreams when I sleep?"
A. They are very closely related. Both come from your unconscious - your
creative Self. This part of you knows no limitations, no boundaries and can give
you effortless ideas and inspiration when you need it most.

Know this - setting goals and accomplishing them are a left-brained analytical
activity. Being in touch with your Dream and who you really are will give you
more fulfillment than all the goal setting and accomplishment in the world could
give you. When you realize this difference, your perceptions of what life offers
you and what you have to offer life will profoundly shift. Use this wisdom in
your life...
