Dream Reality! (II) - Life Has No Meaning Except The Meaning You Give It

DREAM REALITY! (II) - Life Has No Meaning Except The Meaning You Give It

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.” - Henry David Thoreau

Here in my concept of “Dream Reality!” I am challenging us all to consider the possibility that we are directing the experiences of our waking lives in a similar way to the way things happen in our sleeping dreams. In those sleeping dreams we are in control of the characters and events and what determines how those dreams play out, good or bad, are our feelings within the dream.

In our waking dream I suggest that what happens in our lives is determined by our expectations and the meanings we give to what people say to us and the events of our lives. What can also help us also in our “Dream Reality!” is when those we meet in this waking dream are not as aware that they too can determine the outcome of events by insisting that their desires will come about.

We must believe that we are in control of our waking dreams, that the characters and events of our lives will always play out the way we expect them to, and to have the certainty that this is the case. This is like any other belief system ever taught, whether it will work for you is down to your belief that it will; that is to say your expectations!

When things do not work out the way that you want them to, your expectation (or faith) can come to your rescue by giving the event or what the person said a different meaning than the negative one that most people have. You can tell yourself that the whole universe is constantly conspiring to bless you and that what has taken place is just a dark place on the way to your personal triumph.

The alternative to believing that “Dream Reality!” works is to believe that there is as much chance that good and bad things will be said to you and that good or bad things will happen to you; alternatively the other way forward is to constantly expect the difficult situation to arise, for people to say upsetting things to you and that you are not in control of your life. Whichever way you decide to believe will determine the interpretation you give to the events of your life.

We get what we believe for; what we expect! Faith always works out, whether it is faith in the negative or the positive! So, to accept my concept of “Dream Reality!” to expect that you can manipulate your outcomes whilst you are awake, will only be of blessing to you, if you are willing to place your faith in the outcomes you want being achievable, realistic and above all certain!

“Dream Reality!” as a concept challenges us to believe for a better life where things will go our way, and where we have certainty that they will. “Dream Reality!” as a command, is what we all do every day if you believe the concept exists. I would prefer you to understand “Dream Reality!” as a command to live out your life in terms of fulfilling your purpose, the destiny you've always wanted rather than a wishful desire. However, it's your life and the meaning, the expectation and the faith you hold are all an inside job.

Love and light to you from Barnabas :) <3
