Dream another dream, this dream is over

Often as we grow up we build dreams, or they feed us dreams of what our life should be, of what should we aim for, they makes us build a world in which we will be happy. We choose some of them and we follow them, we try and go after them because as soon as innocence starts to run out we have to find a motif and a road in our lives. So we build ourselves a dream(s), and we carry on with the complexities of humanity pursuing that dream each day, or at least many of the days of our lives over the years, and we carry on thinking, believing that the dream might come true.

Sometimes it does, have met few people that actually have told me thay have made it in some way, but they do exist and sometimes we simply just never get there. We might be close, might have achieved parts of it, and may have something of it, but our whole innocent childhood vision of what our lives would be like is at a certain point in our lives, just not there.

Dreams dont die though, they are dreams they cant possibly die of course, cause they are a creation and representation of ourselves, of our beliefs, we feed them and make them what they are, dreams are our fault, and well of course the fault of our ancestors that have just pass the dream tradition over every generation, it is a human condition of course, we need to find something to live for and aim for, if not this would be simply nonsense, well it actually is but we dont want to think about that cause suicide rates and a lot of other things will be over the roof, but deep inside we know this is just something we didnt ask for, but since we are here already we have to find a way to get thru it. Dreams are the easiest cheapest way of doing it, and of course for our parents, grandparents, etc, it is easy to build them up, as we for sure will do with our own offspring.

When many of use realise that some part of our life has already gone and that many of those things we dreamed of are simply not there, and we didnt realise it, or simply didnt want to, we have to carry on, time still goes on and there is nothing we can do to stop it. Also there is no way of changing something of the past that might have helped us to achieve our dream. This is not a bad thing in the end, most dreams usually never come to an end, it is human life, the purpose why we are here, kind of a silly game of pretending and not and just live your life the best you can until you die, hopefully in good, healthy and human way.

But dreams dont die, we kill them, humanity kills them and Im not talking about humanity as whole, Im talking about our human condition, we get distracted along the way, we lose track of stuff, we get involved in things that in the end just makes us waste our time, and we "live" our life in that way for a lot of time, generally speaking of course. But we are so busy "living" that when it comes to many of our real dreams, it is too late, we lost the chance, we are too old, we are not what we expected to be, cause we change and transform sometimes in someone that maybe you wouldn't expect to become and you try to think where and when you took the wrong turn. But then there we are, in the middle of the road, at a certain point in life when we have to realise that somethings might still arrive, but it is time to carry on and try to find other alternatives and sub-dreams that can carry us for the rest of the way. We kill dreams because sometimes we just get distracted in life, or because we had the opportunity and we let it pass, or because we just simply thought that things will come just like that to our front door, and then we know that we had to go knocking.

There is no time or need to complain about it, its life, shit happens, so we just need to find the second on the list, if we have one, you should actually have several options down your sleeve just in case, and carry on. There comes a point in life, I think so for everyone, when you just have to look where to go now, what do I do now, where should I go in order to continue with the biological order of the world and keep on living cause I am still alive and wont just go and die without a reason, although lots of people do it it is not our case, I hope so. So things change, dreams change over time cause our naive vision of the world when we are growing up and they feed us all these things in our little minds comes crumbling down, and we see that things are not what they told us it was supposed to be, and that you have to make some adjustments in order to continue playing the game, which is fun to play actually and I love it, and we should all love it, thats the whole point of it, you got to love the game man.....

Ok so you figure out how to carry on, chage a little bit here and there and see what are your options, time goes by, life nowadays is not getting easier but really hard, and you have to have a plan to keep on going. Once you have figure it out you realise that you just have to swap some things for others and you have to cross out those things that you dreamed of, and let some other less imaginary, romantic ideas fill in in the place of what we wanted our lives to be. So you just have to dream another dream, cause this dream is over.

Many might say this is a negative view of life, in some way it is, it is not nice to know that waht you thought your whole life could be is not, and that everything you were suppose to know about the world around you is not as true as it was and that you know actually not that much about a lot of things. But on the other hand it is easier to get you focus and keep playing the game as good as you can, that is much better than just having a massive depression and let your life just drain away in stupidity, which by the way is the way in which most people live nowadays in this disturbing, chaotic, funny, stupid world. Actually I think most of us have realised by now how things really are and many have taken the path of just letting go and go on with the rest, just being part of something big, without shape and see what happens. I do prefer to cross out options and still search for other ones, it makes more sense and makes it more exciting, even if I have to cross out every other option and find that I was wrong all the time, makes it more interesting than just going with the flow.

So I think it is so much better to realise that there are no more dreams, or that you have to change them or look for another one, than just keep pretending you are going somewhere without really knowing where. So live another dream, is free, is your own, you can make it what you want, you can even make it so complicated that it will be more fun to achieve at least a piece of it. You might be tired as well and just find something easy to carry on with the rest of your life, and you can make it simple, and if it is then there you go, you are happy, because of course when you achieve your dream(s) you are happy, thats one of its goals, and so there you go, happy as you can be.

I have to start dreaming another dream, part of my dreams are over, Maybe I never really feed them, or maybe I just forgot about them and time passed me by and Im already too old to go back and change some things. Or my dreams where impossible or at least I did not put a lot of effort in them thinking that if you just dream it will become true, and well of course thats the whole point but it is not always that easy, that wouldnt be fun, wouldnt it?. So I just cross out somethings, arrange another ones, put this up the other one down, swap some things, find alternatives and I am in the game now, hopefully I can manage to fulfill some of them in the middle term, but now I know I have to work as well, no one is going to knock at my door, although I hope it was that way I am such a lazy person that thats one of the reasons the list has to start again, and start shaping another dream, cause this dream is over......
