Many things that we enjoy in life are due to regular people having dreams. Sometimes the solution or the creation of things can happen from our dreams when we are sleeping. Google was born from a dream Larry Page had. The sewing machine was actually a result of a nightmare that Elias Howe had in 1845. One of the most famous individuals in history, Albert Einstein, came up with the theory of relativity from a dream involving cows and a farmer and his view point during his dream.

Dreams are not subject to only happen when we are asleep. The second part of the definition of the noun is a cherished aspiration, ambition, or idea. Sometimes we hear the phrase, “May all your dreams come true…” This could be an idea that you have to fix or make something better. This could be a hope that things can change for the better.

One man has a very famous speech that includes the phrase, “I have a dream”. This man was Martin Luther King Jr. In 1963 he shared his dreams from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with the world. That day he shared his dream that his “…four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!”

Sometimes our dreams my seem far fetched, or hopeless. Don’t listen to the dream stealers. With a little hard work, and perseverance, you can make your dreams come true. Continue to dream about how you can make life better for yourself and for others, and act upon those dreams.
