“What happens to a dream deferred?”
“Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?”
-Langston Hughes-
I think in these lines the poet Langston Hughes wondered what happens to dreams that do not come true. I have often wondered what happens to the dreamer. How do people cope with the realization that important dimensions of their lives will not turn out as they had hoped they would.
Many of us look at the world and see two groups of people winners and losers. In reality life is more complicated than that. Nobody gets everything he or she yearns for. In my case it would be children. I never had them. I look at the world now and see three sorts of people. Those that dream boldly even as they realize that a lot of their dreams will not come true. Those that dream more modestly and fear that even their modest dreams may not be realized, and those that do not dream at all. I wish more people would dream no matter how great or small. To dream in a world with so much heartache may give us some resilience to our disappointments.
Peace and love…

So I had a really weird dream last night. I dreamt that I had died. Then I was with my papi, making dinner because we were both dead. Why we needed to eat if we were dead ?, well that is kind of strange. I started to tell my papi I did not want to be dead I was too young to die. I told him I was going to call someone to see ( even though I was dead ) if they could still hear me. So I picked up the phone and I called my sister Betty. I was talking and she could not hear me. I started to cry. My papi held me and I just wanted to be alive. Then…..
I woke up. I was happy that it was a dream but sad because everything seemed so real in my dream. My papi was with me.
Does anyone know what this all means ? To dream of yourself being dead ? and to dream of someone who has died ?
Peace and love to all who enter here.

So last night I was very tired and I went ot bed early. Normally it is hard for me to get to sleep right away, but last night within five minutes of me hitting my pillow I was out, and then it happened. I had a dream that a fish, one of those kissing fish jumped out of an aquarium and landed in my hair I could not get it out no matter how hard I tried, and the fish kept flapping around. What Does this all mean. I have heard dreams play a role in whatever is going on in your life overlapping to your sleep and dreams you may have. What the heck could be going on in my lfe that would merrit me dreaming about a fish in my hair ? HelpĀ
