We can all dream
Do I Day Dream?
Well of course I day dream. It is all part of enjoying life. Those that don’t day dream are missing out on one of the great pleasures in life. I have been a dreamer all of my life.
As a young man I dreamed about being taller, stronger, a magnate for girls. I dreamed about being a great athlete and perhaps becoming a Brooklyn Dodger or a Los Angeles Ram.
I also dreamed about the books that I read. What would the world be like if only this were true, if the real hero always won, and if the world could really be fair? But mostly it was about what I wanted to be.
Now I still day dream. I will sit out on my deck and look at the trees, the water below and the clouds above and dream about just flying and being able to see it all. I dream about being in China, India, Southeast Asia, or perhaps even at the top of the world in Tibet.
I dream about a world where we don’t kill each other. I used to dream about living in a rural area, but now that this dream has come true. I dream about what I want for my wife, my children, and my grand children. I am not sure what they want but I know that I want them to have it. The grand children are easy. They will tell me over and over again. Every time it is something different.
I dream about what would have happened if I had continued to play my guitar professionally. That is one of my favorite dreams. I don’t want to be rich and famous but I want my music to effect people. I dream about my music entering their minds and making them, if only for a moment, leave this life and go where they always wanted to be. Since I listen to music almost all the time I am awake, or play my guitar, this is a dream that I have quite often. I see myself in a small club with the sound of clinking glasses and the only other sound is the music I play. I can also hear the people let out there breath when something really gets to them.
So yes I day dream a lot. I enjoy it and I will not give it up.
Sweet Dreams, howie
