On Blaming The Dream.

(A reflection by Sal Godoij.)

Sometimes we treat dreams we never act on as doomed projects because it is easier to judge the dream than to confront why we never acted.

Say, if we dream of starting a project (to write a book, to start a business, or to start a relationship, for instance), and it’s something we always keep in our minds until it fades away, then it’s a natural feeling (when it fades away) to blame the dream, when the truth is we never started it. Now, of course, we may have our excuses: “That book idea wasn’t good enough anyway.” “That business would never have worked.” “She wasn’t what I expected from a woman,” even though you never talked to her.

 And so, we usually blame the dream for never seeing its fruits, never ourselves, because our ego will never admit defeat.
