Life is like a dream…

When you are completely stressed out about work or your job is just overwhelming and all you can think about, you tend to have work dreams or work-mares. You don't only have these types of dreams with work though, you also run into them when your thoughts are completely consumed by something, like when you have a crush on someone. You think about them 24-7 and everything reminds you of them. It should be no surprise that this person may make an appearance in your dreams. So yes, I am telling you that you have the power to control your dreams in some fashion, but you can't just lay in bed at the end of the day and say to yourself "I really want to dream about this or that tonight." You have to completely consume yourself with "this or that" in order for it to work. Your entire day must consist of what you want to dream about that night.

What does this have to do with life? Far too many people think that they can just wish for money when they are broke or hope for love when they are lonely. They think they can continue doing the same thing they are already doing and money, success, love, happiness will just happen to them one day. Well, I'm sorry, life does not work like that. If you truly want something, you must consume yourself with it. Just like a dream, when you learn to control what you do, what you think about and who you surround yourself with, you will find that dreams and reality aren't far off from each other.

Oddly, you will find that your dreams are sometimes easier to control than your life so I suggest starting there. Consume and target your thoughts on something for an entire day. Really think about, think about in detail, make up scenarios of how it will look, what will happen, what it will be like, how it will feel, and so on. If your dreams reflect your thoughts for that day you will be 90% further along in accomplishing your life dreams than most. It may take a few days, a week, a month, or more, but when that dream happens, you will remember it! And when you have harnessed the power to control something that you thought was impossible to control, it will seem almost too easy to start applying that same principle to your life in order to accomplish anything you can dream of.

Whether you are trying to control your dreams at night or turn your life into a dream, just remember to stay focused. Your every thought must be about your dream or how it may affect your dream. Walt Disney hit the nail right on the head with impeccable accuracy when he was quoted saying "If you can dream it, you can do it." I see this quote all of the time and use it myself whenever I can, but I don't think people truly realize the power and truth behind that statement.
