I am often asked what my dreams are now. I also thought, why not make a post on this topic, and at the same time and sort out a little information about myself. I like to call myself a dreamer, but if so, what are my dreams in life? What do I really, really want? What seems to me so desirable, but distant and, perhaps, even unlikely.
Let’s decide what we mean by the word “dream”. Wikipedia tells us that a dream is a hypothetical image of its desired future reality. That is, to have dreams – this means to see yourself in the future, to see some attractive picture or situation to which you are a participant. What could it be?
Previously, with dreams, everything was simple, I will list my past dreams (most of which have already been realized, some are not yet, some have lost relevance, some will not be realized, because it was in conflict with other dreams):

I was dreaming about deliberately contradictory and mutually exclusive dreams. Whatever the list was successful, I still did not fully satisfied, because the other part could not be realized. I am a person who wanted to live many lives, but she was given only one. I’m a person who does not want to choose – what do I want, a pear or an apple? I want both! And preferably in parallel.
And one more thing. My past dreams now do not satisfy me. If I wrote my life a second time (not anew, but again), I would have chosen everything differently. But also that already was done – it is a pity to lose, let it also remain. I want to be many times a child, thirty times, I think, enough. As many times as a teenager, and in adulthood I probably will stay longer. There are so many different paths and professions! I want to taste every one!
Well, why can not I only dream of living one hundred and thirty different full lives, because I’ve only been given one. What a pity. This is so little. No dick in fact I almost do not to have time! I’m already 32, and I still have so many things to do. But I will not become a young mother any more, just as I will not become a ballerina in my twenty years, I will not swallow tongues as pies in my childhood. I’m not going to do mathematics at 5. And I do not rush into the ocean with the gills.
Before death, there are some minutes, perhaps I will have time to sing my ballad, perhaps I will draw a canvas that will be thrown posthumously over the fence. Maybe I’ll have children, maybe I will not. A dog or a cat, maybe I’ll feed it. Where will I finish the my road? I do not know. I know for sure, I will have few days left. Already now I want to play life in dozens of parallels, but reality is so gray-boring, that only dream-fantasies are alive, moving me to different bodies.
Take all the dreams that are thought of in each of the heads, combine, fold and multiply. And that’s the limit of my dreams is not even like that. Add a pinch from each of the planets from all galaxies and universes. You can add more than all times. Then a little strange dimensions. We will take all our forgotten things with us for a long time. We will add what you will learn later. This whole quantum reminds me a little of my dreamy phantom.
What do you dream about?
