Dreams

Everyone in this world has a dream of becoming something or someone special in this world. Some want to become rich, some want fame, and other are attracted towards the glitter and the limelight of film world. Most of us, if not all, do try to chase these dreams, but not all have the strength and the resilience to chase these dreams for long enough to achieve it. Most people give up after giving it a chase for a while, sometimes it is the circumstances, either financial or social, that stop them and sometimes it is just lack of determination on the individual’s part. Only some have the ability and courage to face all the obstacles and still chase and finally emerge as a winner. These are the people who stand out to be legends and are remembered and honored by the generations to come. These people had a dream that was visualized by their conscious mind and they worked hard to achieve them. Of course there is some amount of luck that guarantees that their hard work does not go in vain and they eventually succeed. Nevertheless success does not come easy to anyone. Someone might get lucky initially but sooner or later you will end up in a situation where your luck runs out and your true character stands bare. This is when your hard work comes to your rescue and you somehow find a way to get out of the tough situation.

There is also another kind of dream, a dream that your subconscious mind sees when you are not awake or fully conscious. These dreams sometimes seem to relate to your daily life, like seeing yourself in the surroundings that you are normally in, say your office or college or home, etc. Sometimes, your would be really amazed to see yourself in surroundings that are foreign to you, like seeing yourself in a house where you have never lived or been to, or some street where you have never been to, and find yourself among people who are not very familiar. The next day morning you awaken with a feeling how did these things come into my mind. Dreams are electrical impulses and chemical reactions in the brain that the subconscious brain releases and these take the form of visuals, which you see when you are not fully awake. Sometimes you see yourself in a social or financial position that you are yearning to see yourself in, like a big bungalow, a nice car, etc., but sometimes you see just what you dread the most, like in a financial soup with creditors all around you, etc. But not all the time do you see reality in your dreams, sometimes you just see yourself being attacked by an animal, like a monkey or a snake, etc. Ever wonder why your subconscious mind visualizes such things? Ever wonder whether your subconscious mind is trying to tell you something? Sometimes you see a strange dream, and stranger than this, it really happens. Is there any strange power that we all possess in ourselves that we are not aware of how to harness?

A lot of people have studied these dreams and the patterns that correlate to reality. Some people brush it aside as mere chemical and electrical imbalance in the brain, but others believe it is more than that. If you ask your grandparents about the dreams, they would tell you what each dream means, like what it means if you see a monkey in your dream, etc. Whether your believe them or not, it is left up to you. One thing I strongly believe is that nothing happens in this world without a reason. God does not give us anything, happiness or pain, without a reason. Whether good or bad that happens to us, we have earned it with our deeds in the past or even in the past life. The same goes for our dreams too. You would not dream about anything without a reason. If it were to be mere chemical and electrical imbalances, why do we see clear visuals of people, animals, and places, why don’t we just see some colors like some modern art? This shows that it not just imbalances and disturbances but some clear message being sent across. Who is sending these messages? We do not know.

Why am I blogging?

I am Karthik. This is my page and I will be posting my views and opinions on this page. Sometimes I feel like expressing my views but I do not find people around to do that, either because people around me are not interested in those topics are they just do not understand the seriousness of what I am talking about. I guess everyone has their own limitations of understanding things and instead of complaining about it, we should just move on. This is the reason why I thought the best way is to go ahead and start blogging. I can express my views more freely and I am sure there will be people who will be able to understand my point of view about this world and things that are happening around us. I do not call myself an expert on things but everyone has a right to express themselves in their own way.
I hope you find my views interesting.
