Dreamer, wake up from your slumber

Song of the moment: Shawn McDonald- Dreamer

"The future belongs to those who believe in the power of their dreams."

And a dream is a wish your heart makes.. and you're sure to do impossible things if you follow your heart. Oh Disney.

How blessed are those with dreams. Those able to see something more, something impossible integrated into their futures. I fear the day I stop dreaming and pity the peers already there.

What do you dream of? And who? So many of us wonder and worry about where we are headed and work so hard to get there. From this point right here, any of us can go anywhere we want. I think of the summer and how my time of freedom feels like its flying away from me. How will I spend my last summer as a student? All I want to do is farm in a foreign country. All I want to do is research on the dead zone in the Gulf. All I want to do is an environmental internship in Hawaii. All I want is to go back to YMCA camp...in Colorado or Tennessee or SeaCamp on the coast somewhere. Or ranch out west...all I want are the things I've always wanted to do and its crunch time. My life as a young person is almost over and with it a wakening from my dreamfilled slumber into a pupil burning sun ray through the window of the world that is my future.

Does that make sense?

The dreamless, the ones in the box that is their lives scoff at such notions and stick to what they know. I dont care what I do I just want it to be new and different. It seems a waste for there to be things different from what you know out there and you not try to find them and experience them.

"...believe in the power of their dreams." Dreams hold power but only when you believe in them. And is it okay to keep believing in a dream after he gets a girlfriend? Some dreams you work for...some dreams you wait for (NOT A LINE to be used at the bars) somehow I dont feel right about that one. Maybe thats the kinda thing you never say out loud.

Is there difference between the dreamer and the dillusional? The dreamer and the one believing they're living their dream? The dreamer and the settler? Who settles into a life of mediocredy(is this a word?) after they lost belief?
