What is a dream? According to Wikipedia, A dream is the experience of envisioned images, voices, or other sensations during sleep . However we are not talking about dreaming while we sleep, we are talking about dreaming while we are awake and conscious. We are talking about imagine and visualize what is our future scene looks like. Basically dreaming is the first step for whatever we want to achieve in our live.
Dream sounds like something intangible and untouchable. For example when we heard somebody saying that they had dream that they becomes a millionaire, then normally we will treat this as day dreaming. Many of us lost our courage to dream when we grown up. When we wanted to be somebody, people will tell us that it is impossible. As times goes by, We lose our ability to dream. We don't know how to dream and even don't know what to dream.
However we should be aware that we need to continue to dream. We need to choose to dream and dare to dream. Without dreams, life would be meaningless because we have no future. If we don't know how to dream, then we got to learn how to dream. There are a lot of books and materials outside that teaches us how to dream. We just have to go out there, open our eyes, look for it, read it, and do it. For example Marc Allen's book of ‘The Type Z Guide To Success with Ease' illustrate some good techniques and examples that shows us how to dream.
Recently I relearned how to dream properly. I force myself to dream. At the beginning, it is difficult, because I don't even know what to dream. But after sometimes, it becomes a natural things. I can dream of the same scene every morning and before sleep and whenever I am free. Bacially you need practices to do this.
Currently the ideal scene in my dream is something like this:
I work at home. My businesses have generated me enough income to support my moderate lifestyle and expenses. I can work from everywhere in the world as long as there are Internet connection. I stay in my home town. However sometimes I travel to different countries and live there for a few months. I travel around the world, in another words, I work around the world. My businesses have generated me 5 figure incomes every month. And I have multiple streams of incomes. I own a unique house at the sea side area. I live there with my family. I have a few real estates that also generate monthly rental income for me.
Everyday I wake up 8 am in the morning and have some morning exercise. Then I start working at home around 9 am. In the afternoon I had lunch and then have some rest. Evening around 6 o'clock I stop working and have some walk along the sea side with my family.
I wanted to have time to do the things that I like, have time with family, have time for myself, live and work with ease but still successful and make a lot of money. I am a millionaire and I am financially independence.
I do wish that when I wake up one day, the dream will suddenly come true (I know this is a day dream!). However I do know that dreaming is just the first stage. This is an experiment for me. I like to do experiment. I will continue the same dreaming and I wanted to see what the outcome is in the near future.
