What To Do With Your Dreams

Dreams.

We all have them. It is one of those mysteries, similar to understanding how the mind works, that we find ourselves dreaming about - pun intended. What should we do with dreams?

For some, the answer lies in pursuit - “follow your dreams, go after them.” For others, the answer may be to just enjoy the experience of dreaming - “let’s dream together, what might this look like?” While both approaches (among several more) are valid, I like the visionary perspective Langston Hughes shares in his poem, The Dream Keeper:

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers,
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.

It makes sense to offer our dreams to the One who gives us the ability and capacity to dream in the first place. What if, in this perspective, lies the way to make sense of this mysterious experience? Try it.
