RE: Learn To Live.

If your dreams doesn't scare you then you aren't dreaming

Lol it's funny just by mere reading through but I'd like to get a more in depth on what it means to not be dreaming because it isn't scary to you.

I thought dream that scare one are called nightmares... Well, from the perspective you wrote this from, it isn't about that but I'm still confused a little bit.

In any case, I enjoyed this read... Lovely poet as always, full of deep meanings.

Sort:  

If your dream doesn't scare you then you aren't dreaming.

They are some dreams you will have and want to take action toward them, but the action aspect is scary.

When you dream big, it becomes scary because you want them achieved especially when you have big hurdles in your path.

Let's take, for instance, ancient times when women are not allowed to go to school because they are known to be breeding machines. A woman from that time who dreams to become a doctor or become someone someday will be scared to take action.

It's like you dreamt you jumped into a deep sea and survived in a place where swimming is prohibited. Having that dream means you are going against the norms in that place which is scary.

Back to the lady's instance taken, her dreams to become someone order than a breeding machine will scare her because she is dreaming unlike her following the trend.

I hope I was able to explain a bit, but if you are not satisfied with what is been said, I have other instances to fill in.

There are some steps way scarier because we always imagine how we would get it done. I love your explanation and you did absolute justice to it. Thank you, baby.

Hehe... I got it from you sweetie. You are welcome dear and thanks for this beautiful piece.

Oh no! I totally get the direction you took it from now. Indeed one would be scared to such dreams.

But then, if one just have a dream that doesn't do all that like you mentioned, is it safe to say that person didn't dream yet?

Are all dreams supposed to scare you for it to be a powerful dream? Because I want to believe that those scary dreams talked about is posing a powerful future if actions are taken.

We are all supposed to have what keeps us on our toes at all times...something that keeps us wondering how we would get it done because we know this dream is bigger than us... Take for instance...Joseph in the Bible... That's another angle...see how scared he was...to even share the dream not to even talk of living it.

Yeah, I get that totally
Thanks for that realization write up, it was very much appreciated ❤️

To be great in life, one has to go through lots of things. Nothing comes for free. The question you posed means one thing.

The person isn't dreaming big enough. Trust me, when you dream big, the weight will scare you. It is like fighting for freedom. I mean, you can still be living when you depend on someone right? But the moment you seek independence, you realize the weight that comes with it.

You are so good with explanations and you spoke my mind. You eased her into the explanation and I'm glad it's up for everyone to see so they can understand better too. His words are deeper and I'm glad we all have the understanding of this.

I have to give that to her. She did justice to it and the way she was taking her time to explain blew me away. I really love that. It's cute.

Thank you for your kind words. I love poetry and always read like a poet to understand the deep meaning attached to each word said.

It is nice she spoke up and got to understand better.

That's right...poems always have hidden meanings...it allows our mind to open up and think deeper than what's on the surface. Good one dear.

That's why I love poetry. Their hidden meanings are gems to the heart. So beautiful.

Yes, darling. If your dream is something that can be achieved without breaking a sweat, it's not a dream because it's taking nothing significant from you. Good one, Bal.

Agreed. Dreams aren't meant to be simple if you are ready to take the weight of it all.

Okay, now I think we are on the same page now... I've finally come to understand what that sentence has meant haha.

It isn't a dream until it weighs on you that you're up for a big change in your life... That makes a lot of sense and I've had experiences like that in different aspect of my life.

Thanks for the clarification dear 🙂😏

You absolutely got that right. I'm glad you were patient enough to fully grasp it. That's a good attitude to have and I admire that about you.

Yeah, thanks to you too

Your second emoji says 😒. Hehe... Thanks for the reassurance that I am a very bad person and that I can't get a true smile.

Oiin, i have carry my true self come again, wetin you wan do?😝😝.

Anyways, I am glad you've had great dreams and acted on them.

Wahala girl
Just go away already please, I don't have strength for your trouble.

I will pray God gives you strength so you will never be tired. Gimme some minutes.

Lmao. Must you always be dramatic sweetie? Hahahaha

Hehe... I can't help it. Drama is my middle name 😂😂

When your dream doesn't scare you, then you aren't dreaming. It's not about the kind of dream you have while sleeping but about the things you want to be. Thinking about your reality and what you want to achieve, it would scare you, get you worried because you will see where you are in sharp contrast to where you are going and would ask yourself "how would these things be?". If your dream is something you can easily achieve then it's not big enough...it has to be something bigger than you can you have the capacity for and that's where the fear comes in.

This is another beautiful comment that hit the nail on the head. I love how you all are intentional about clarity and explanation. This is so good to see and thanks for stepping in as well.

Yeah, I got what he meant after getting explanations from Balikis. Thanks for your contribution as well, I've learnt so much about this today haha

We are here for you 🤣. We are here for one another. Don't be surprised when I call you out next to explain something to me and I know you will. 🎈🎈.

Have a great evening.

Haha sure, I'll gladly explain if it's something I know.
Just don't ask me how I make money because I'm looking for who to ask that too 🤣

You have a great evening too

Haha but you are making a lot of money. Show me the way..I can keep a secret.

Lol can you not start please? 😂😂
Show you what way again na? Jesus is the only way, follow Him always! You won't regret it 😁

Hahaha another drama person...that's you and Bal.

Thank you so much, Merit and I deeply appreciate your comment. I love the honesty of it and seeking clarity...I love those who love to know... You are wise and smart.
