Dreamer

Yesterday I watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory after a very long time. In the movie Gene Wylder sings the lines,

There is no ,Life I know
To compare with Pure imagination
Living there ,You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it


I understood then that very few people will ever understand those lines. Those people are Dreamers, people wish to be dreamers, those who are true dreamers never tell everyone that they are.... or sometimes they never tell at all. Its a secret life in your head. No one can judge you, arrest you, hate you love you or pack you off to a room with a straight jacket.

Dreamers know reality and they definitely know dreams, they never confuse one with the other, that is why you can never find out whose a real dreamer and who is not.


Dreamers live a hundred lives in their heads. They have a secret passage way into it. Its like a secret society which does not exist. A dreamer will never ever share their dreams or their thoughts, as its direct route into their soul.

You can never become a dreamer, you are born a dreamer, these people have never been analyzed by shrinks cos they have never let their dreams out. They can dream a whole day, and go to sleep, with a day very well spent.


Some give dreamers flak, saying that this world is reality and not living it makes you foolish. You know what, Dreamers dont care. They know who they are and what they want. They probably have a better understanding of life than those who have never let their imagination show them the beauty of world.

If one ever comes across a dreamer, tread carefully, you'll either be wary of them or fall in fascination with them and spend the rest of your life trying to figure them out.


We are the music makers... and we are the dreamers of dreams.
Willy Wonka


“I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.”
Kahlil Gibran

Optimist: Day-dreamer more elegantly spelled- Mark Twain

“This whole creation is essentially subjective, and the dream is the theater where the dreamer is at once: scene, actor, prompter, stage manager, author, audience, and critic.”-Carl Gustav Jung


We are such stuff that dreams are made off- (Shakespeare)

Dream Snatcher

I have heard the question about the shortage of leaders in the world, or the lack of people to make a difference.
I think the answer is because people are not given the chance. When you are saddled along with 20,000 other employees, who loves any one enough to take the effort to find the "dark knight". We barely know our neighbors or ourselves, sifting through the hay to find the silver needle is a task no one would even think off.

I was watching the video "Indescribable" and there the speaker showed a picture of the earth some gazillion miles away and it was called the "pale blue dot". And he said that everyone who has lived there life have lived it on that pale blue dot. When I heard that the thought that ran through my mind was not the number of people who have lived, but the number of dreams that had died on that pale blue dot. How many people had the potential but died before making it, how many people had what it took to be great but it was all thwarted by their superiors or someone who unjustly made them lose their dream.

Heard of the Dream Catcher, I dont believe in it. But I believe in the Dream Snatcher, its a behavior in all of us, if we deny the behavior we have lied to ourself for the millionth and thirty first time.


You must be wondering why am I going on about the universe, dreams and such depressing stuff, it would be because I saw some dreams being crushed and I felt like a Dream Snatcher terrorist, even though I didnt make the decision. I saw it, I knew the dreams and I saw reality. I wish I could tell them about the sorrow of what is to take place. Then maybe they can move to a place where their dreams can actually come true. I suddenly got a cold chill down my spine, if they could do that to them, then they can do the same things to me. I screamed in my head.

John Lennon' "Working Class Hero" (slightly retold)

As soon as you start they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.


They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

Keep you doped with sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.

If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

D.R.E.A.M

Life would be great if where I lived had 100 odd million people less, the weather of 1970's. the technology of today. Would it be perfect?????? Would it ??? would it???????? Well I cant think of anything more perfect, I'm sure that some genius critic will find 100 things wrong with my make believe era. But still "I HAVE A DREAM".

If you have ever read more than 10 pages of any thing management, you will always come across the S.M.A.R.T goals, where S is something and M is one thing More. Anyway what its says in short that it should be practical, achievable and within a time frame and in those boundaries one is to make goals irrespective of them being personal, professional or otherwise.

I wonder do Dreams also have to follow such guidelines for them to come true? Must I dream of practical and achievable things, like not screwing up (achievable)(practical), (within my given time frame) during the week.

Can I not dream of something absolutely normal like traveling to the moon, because I won a contest which I had entered at the local mall. Or me being randomly selected as the next prime minister because the country wanted an experiment in luck and I'm the lucky one.Or I wake up in the morning and get a call from the United Nations asking for my opinion.

See none of these dreams are outlandish, its not like I want to sprout wings and fly or get fins and gills and go discover our ocean. I dream normal things, but still I know that they coming true is never going to be a reality.

Maybe I should right a book, which will join the exclusive billion member club of the "How to books". I will write on "How to dream the right way". It will contain truths like....If you think that tomorrow you will be CEO, then that is not dreaming the right way, if you dream to be CEO in 20 years, then you are well on your way to using the executive washroom.Basic fundas like that are not explained to people, thats why there is so much of violence and frustration among the youth. Its because nobody tells them the right way to day dream.

In the unspecified future days, I shall write a book on day dreaming, please book your copy of the book now, there maybe a shortage.Now thats the right way of Dreaming, all who are wise follow my example.
