DO WE REALLY DREAM EVERYDAY AS BELIEVED BY A SCHOOL OF THOUGHT?

I’ve heard many people say they don’t dream everyday and I am a witness to it. But a school of thought claims we all dream every time we sleep. Science believes that when the body is at rest, the brain and the heart do not partake in the rest, because they keep working. I guess this school of thought/science got their base from this fact. Since the brain cannot remain idle, then something must be going on in it, either an happening or whatever.

However, many still stick to the belief that it is not every time man dreams. I’ve met some people who say they have never dreamt and they don’t know what is feels like to dream. I still remember the kind of look I gave the first individual who told me so. I could not stop myself from telling him he was abnormal. But is he truly abnormal? I stopped believing he was the day another person told me the same thing. But I must say this people are very rare, maybe one in a million. But I’m so fortunate to have met two, right?

Person alloy, I don’t know if it is true that we dream every time. The school of thought I was speaking of the other time believes the problem is that we forget we had a dream. But you will agree with me that sometimes, we have the consciousness we dreamt, but we don’t remember what happened in the dream. But yet, we know we’ve dreamt. This too is normal. But whether we dream every time or not, I believe everyone in this world dreams everyday. This dream has got nothing to do with sleep. It comes when our consciousness is still very intact.

What am I saying? THOUGHT! Have you ever termed thought to be a dream? I want to believe our thoughts can be referred to as dreams too. When we are long lost in our subconsciousness, what we do is dream – think as long as we are not in our right state of mind. The normal dreams some of us if not all dream are things that are not really. They happen like they are real but in a different world, created by our minds. I guess this is one power God has given to man. I don’t want to believe animals also dream.

Thoughts are similar to dreams. Thoughts require you to create something outside of the physical that almost seems physical in a world created by your mind. Maybe we can call the ability to think and dream (or let me call the two “dream”) as the power of the mind. Sometimes, your dream gives you a nightmare, or joy depending on whatever you’ve come across. Just like a dream, the fear from your thought can send you back to reality and sometimes, it can make you smile in reality.

So, whether you believe that we dream everyday or not, your thoughts are equivalent to dreams and I believe you do this more often.

Short Poetry: Blinded Sun

It all appeared promising like the after-snow,


Another opportunity to imprint old ideas on the new year,


And to realize new ideas alongside the old,


This rare opportunity wouldn’t go a waste,


Many had thought,


Until a dark cloud from the previous year,


Began to blind the glory of the sky more intensely,


Like a play it seemed at the beginning,


Darkness overshadowing light was an impossibility,


But that faded away with the past,


The light couldn’t sustain the pressure enacted on it,


Until it gave in to be erased,


By the new form of darkness — the threat.

———

The earth saw the sky weep,


But before it could prepare to wage a war,


The darkness had descended upon it,


Leaving no sod unvisited,


As it moved in great speed and power,


And all the inhabitants of the earth could do,


Was to hide in their little holes,


Hoping the visitor would give up and leave,


And a sign will beam forth from the sky;


The beautiful light it once emanated.

———

But the visitor wouldn’t give up,


It had grew even stronger,


Waiting at every entrance,


Knowing fully well the hiders would be forced out,


Due to their proneness to hunger,


And as fathomed,


The hiders had left their little holes,


But with preparedness,


With masks printed on their faces,


Since its passage into every hombre was known,


But it kept fighting,


Not ready to succumb to their science.

———

The world remains masked,


And the fight continues,


The year seems wasted,


The uncertainty it brought had been a great cry to all,


While some dreams are achievable,


Some may never get to be ignited yet,


While some other ideas are forced to birth,


The war has come,


And it has come to stay,


We have to live with it,


And hope that we live to behold that day;


When the world surges victorious,


And the sky is unveiled.

You and I

You say you love me,
But deceit, is all I perceive.
You vow never to desert me,
But already, I feel lonely.
You sing to me sweet love songs,
But in the middle, I rummage lies.
You send me motivating morning text messages,
But I see you as the barricade, standing in my way.
You may mean all you do and say,
But maybe I’m the ingrate, tired of us.

Sometimes, we are the problem
