A dream is a wish your heart makes...
When you're fast asleep...
In dreams you lose your heartaches...
Whatever you wish for, you keep ...
What a sweet, lovely verse, part of a song written by Mac David, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston for the Walt Disney animated classic, Cinderella. Dreams. I like to think about dreams. I like to think about my dreams.
Dreams keep your sanity intact, or at least I think so. Dreaming is something you sometimes do until the crisis passes, until the heartache ends, until the drama subsides. Dreaming is something you do until things are better, until things return to normal. Dreams are a way of fooling yourself, if only for a little while. Without them life could be far too harsh, far too barren of joy and humor, far too serious. Far too much to bear. Dreams are a place to wander until it's safe to return home.
Mostly I like to think of dreams as self fulfilling prophesies. Not in the sense that a fantasy would come to be, but rather the dream of a life as we intended it to be. We all want certain things in life and sometimes they are just beyond our reach. Through no fault of our own sometimes, these things remain elusive, at our fingertips but not within our grasp. Dreaming, having a wish our heart has made, keeps those things right in front of us. We see them in waking moments and perhaps have them in the ones when we are asleep. Dreaming keeps them front and center. Keeps them in our sight and on our minds until that time that whatever you wish for....you keep.
So until those days that my own dreams come, I will keep wishing, keep on believing that ....the dream that I wish will come true.
Indeed.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
