Dreaming… Or Not?

I don’t dream a lot.

Sometimes I ask myself if that’s ever a metaphor for where I’m at in life today. I’m not naive about the lack of sleep or other possible justifications health-wise (which are valid in this convo) as they pertain to dreaming. However, I struggle to understand or envision what the capacity to not be able to imagine myself in a different space in life leaves me with. I struggle to work through the different facets of the future.

There’s something to be said for dreaming when you have things to get excited for. You can get jazzed about the future or about how much more life you have to live. You can get entranced into different parts of the world and all these different facets of society, never allowing yourself to be present in these kinds of moments. It doesn’t matter how much you keep wishing that your life will improve, but the dreams are what allow you to feel sustained that there is something possible.

As I write and think about dreaming, I want to give myself a better chance of figuring out how to envision a better world. As I’m working through the different visions for my future, I hope my dreams will actually be a clear reality.
