Chapter 1: Understanding Dreams

Lately, a thought has been occupying my mind, one that I can’t seem to shake off.

In recent times, the world has faced numerous challenges, but that’s not the only aspect suffering. It might stem from our own struggles, or perhaps something even more personal.

Have you ever contemplated the essence of a dream?

I’m not referring to the dreams that come to us in our sleep; I’m speaking of the aspirations and goals we hold in our lives. In my own words, I would define it as follows:

“Dreams are the visions or ambitions we strive to fulfill.”

This is indeed what we refer to as a dream, but how far should we pursue these aspirations to realize them? Are we truly on the right journey toward achieving that so-called “dream”? From my observations, I can tell you that I have witnessed this in some of my friends.

I’m not one to judge, but it’s worth mentioning that some of my friends possess these dreams yet take no action to realize them.

Section 1.1: Why Dreams Fade Away

I can’t pinpoint the exact reasons, but if you wish to keep a dream alive, don’t let it fall apart. One of the gravest mistakes made when aiming for a dream is to stray down the wrong path.

Often, we veer off course due to the influence of friends, colleagues, or family members. A simplified example would be attending college, securing a job, and settling into a 9-to-5 role that was never part of your plan.

Our dreams should be defined by us, but this won’t come without its challenges. Personally, I find the journey in computer science to be both enjoyable and tedious. It often requires self-study, yet my desire to achieve fuels my determination to continue on this path.

Another observation regarding dreams is that many people lack a genuine obsession for them. Many select goals they merely “like,” but do they truly have a passion for them?

Stay true to what resonates with you, and pursue your dreams until the end.

The second video, "You Are Not Born and You Never Die," delves into the philosophical perspective of existence and the eternal nature of our dreams and aspirations. This thought-provoking piece encourages us to consider the impact of our dreams beyond our physical lives.
