Dream on. A response to Austin.

I was looking through my fellow students' blogs to find one that struck me. I was expecting to find one relating to the existentialist movement but instead I found one relating back to dreams. Austin asked the question: Do you think it would be nice to turn your dreams into reality sometimes? Now I will answer this question.

First of all, who are we to say that we aren't already dreaming this world we live in. Because we personally are experiencing it, it is reality. But, in actuality, the world we think we live in could be just a dream. Now, let's just say that the world we live in is real. Would it be worth it for our dreams to become reality? I feel like that would be the easy way out, in a sense. Dreams can inspire us to do wonders in the real world. Sometimes it would be nice if life were a dream, but that wouldn't be fun all the time. Especially if those dreams became nightmares, but that's a different story. We need dreams to be separate of reality because that is how we live. We can only truly accomplish something if we have our dreams behind us and are not directly living in a dream.
