Live The Dream
This won’t be the usual article where you feel like reading forever and getting bored finally, closing the article. Rather this is different, like a mind reader or maybe close to being that.
The Biggest Question
Let’s start it all with a standard question, How many times have we dreamed of having someone else's life instead of our’s? Watching those weird and interesting movies and TV series. Why my life is as boring as it could ever be? But everyone I see around me has better life!
Hearing all those curiosity-creating quotes, instead of creating enthusiasm in us, create cravings for a perfect life. These quotes blind our vision from seeing how perfect our life already is, every individual’s life is beyond perfection. We fail to see beyond those quotes, the reason being a misunderstanding of those quotes.
Thinking of the phrase “Live The dream” more than 80% of us live in a dream. We just compare our lives with something that shows up on the TV or someone in school or our workplace including all social places and hope we would end up there one day.
How We Live In Dream
A weekend or some holiday occasion we are back in our home town, free from work and related chaos. Meeting friends in an hour, got ready, and left for a movie night. Once that is over, on the way home our minds would be occupied by all the fascinating scenes. We listen to our friend’s opinions but what would be your usual discussion? “Hey, I would do this if I was him!” And few of their responses would be “That’s your best? I would do that, But I would rather take the anti villains role that’s more interesting”
Just one among many questions that would arise after a movie night. So, similarly, we tend to put ourselves in the shoes of many people.
Reading an interesting book, you ask
“Why can’t I be like that? My life is boring like hell, and I couldn't even stand it anymore.”
Many just go commit suicide just because their life is not up to their expectations.
“Why does my life suck while directors can create this many wonderful and fascinating movies?” and they just wait for their life to turn up to their dream by keeping their dream up until it becomes too late ending their lives.
When dreaming comes into the picture, people always talk about three;
- Heart
- Mind
- Brain
The heart is just a muscular organ that pumps blood all over our body not what many think to be a subconscious or what they say as ‘He has a pure heart.’ kind of heart.
But the other two are more or less what they already have a perception. The mind is the subconscious thing and the brain is the tissue-based organ that controls your body nothing much.
Now many think the dream is how your brain hides your soul or your subconscious mind from seeing the truth and accepting it. On the contrary, the mind is the one that does the magic.
Your mind takes in all the input from and around it and converts it into a dream, feeding the brain and making it believe that the dream is the life you wanted, not what is before you.
This is the reason you want to be Prof. Severus Snape or any good wizard from “The Harry Potter” story. Your mind takes in this story and makes its own and you just keep developing it in your free time thereby living in it forgetting about everything else.
Why Dream Living?
Humans are the greediest living creatures available on Earth, if not on the entire universe. Our greed is the one well that has a depth that no available measuring tools can fulfill and no resource can be fed but daydream.
It is not our fault to be greedy greed is the one thing that is common to all humans. Animals have every single sense that humans ever had before, but the one thing that makes us different from animals is greed. I agree that there are greedy animals but they won't be as good as humans.
So, like I said before it is not our fault to be greedy. God created this nature or nature created this character in us for a reason.
Compared with the afterlife, the world we live in now is very hard. The reason is so simple, the afterlife has helpers that can carry you along with your destiny because they are going nowhere after their journey is over there. But in this life people disappear after their fate is over.
That is why it is hard to fulfill our destiny here, if we worry about all of these things, the neurons in the human brain would just fry in a day. That is why it has found a remedy by feeding dreams to your brain. Once the brain finds comfort in reading all the dreams fed by the mind, it starts trusting your mind. Sometimes these dreams lead you on the right path and well call that as good instincts as in the phrase “Trust your instincts”.
Then what about the rest of the time, when your dream leads you wrong?
Usually, our brain can differentiate between good and bad guidances, at this point, we can say, that your brain is addicted to dreaming if your instincts are wrong.
How Do We Get Addicted?
When the human brain faces things that are new and lovely compared to what it was familiarized with, the focuses falls on nourishing that feeling, and slowly the things you hate to start dissipating and get closer and closer to that feeling “This is how I want my life to be!” and leads to the state of self-hatred complex and self depression.
If you feel bewildered, it will all make sense in a minute.
If a person hates something, that doesn’t mean, he likes the rest. But on the contrary, if he likes something it is safe to say that he likes the rest lesser which can always be equated to hate.
Consider yourself lucky because I’m sharing this part of my life with you and all this is not fake but real facts and the way I felt.
Recently before the end of 2021, I joined the discord server named “Fusion”. And by the way, if you don’t know what discord means, then click me
It is a gaming server and chill server owned by my good friend “Shen”. I feel in debt to him that he ever invited me to that server. From the moment I got invited I didn’t start chatting because I’m usually a shy person who never talks to new people. And in discord there are roles, only certain roles can stay inside the server the rest can be kicked out by these dominant roles.
I was afraid my overtalking might get me kicked but then I got a good and dominant role then I felt confident to even open my mouth. But only then did I realize how good they were and how fun and young they were.
At first, I felt pathetic spending time with people so younger than me, but surprisingly they are more mature than me.
Are you wondering why this now? It all has something to do with my dream life since the day of my birth. From the day I joined the school, I hated it. My entire education journey was hateful because I never liked the way my country took education soo seriously. All I ever wanted is to spend this one-time childhood memorable and fill my history book with interesting and fun events. But now all I have is an empty book with me.
But after joining Fusion and spending time with some actual kids that spend their childhood enjoyable, I found the answer to my question “Why do I hate my childhood so much?”. And I found that the thing that they had, people that care for each other, people/friends who love to hang out with each other, and finally people who spend quality time and have respect for each other.
All these I’ve been missing in my entire childhood, but I never realized that in my entire 21 years journey. But God made me realize this only at the start of 2021. Now I’ve realized that I have been living my dream during my childhood, and that is why I have no memorable moments from my school days. My dream from the mind has blinded my brain by seeing that, if not I must’ve lost my mind and become a mentally ill person.
Now I can’t shed tears losing my childhood or becoming 15 again, instead, I keep moving on dreaming about my future and living in a dream in the present.
Conclusion:
At the end of the day, it’s what I usually like to say;
Everything in this world has its own good and bad with themselves, it’s up to us to find balance between them and move smoother in life.
So, let us not keep our hopes down and live a better life overall. And remember to never change yourself, because u have a set of good friends and family because of your old behavior so never change stay blessed.
