I mean it quite literally here. Imagine a world where dreams could be sold. Then daydreamers like me would end up making a lot of moolah!
Daydreaming is not everybody’s cuppa tea. It is a creative process that involves lot of imagination and a keen vision. One looses complete track of reality. You tend to float on the surface of real life things, while being immersed deeply in the glorious dreamland.
Often, seen as an excuse for laziness, daydreaming is a vital practice. Somebody has to visualize the unattainable for it to be accomplished (doesn’t matter if the latter is done by another soul!). It holds the key to all sorts of great discoveries and innovations on the planet.
A small thing lacking in a dreamer is the potential or the motivation of turning these dreams into reality. That’s where the trading part comes in! Selling these dreams to contenders with the required capability (physical, mental and of course financial!) for their realization could do lots to serve the humanity.
Such visionaries are not so hard to find. They are scattered in all the walks of life (creative fields being the most privileged). The lost look on their face and a detached demeanor, are the most apparent traits. Don’t get offended if they are not (mentally) with you in the conversation. Their gifted brains are working persistently on something of greater significance.
That day is not far when auction houses will be overflowing with bidders for the most splendid dreams. We will be well respected for our art and have distinct place in the society. ( I guess that's a lot of wishful thinking! ;) )
Dreams for sale. Any takers?
