Dreams
The final day of Fun Facts and Quotes week has come. Today I have one of each for you, on dreams.
Firstly, a person spends up to three hours per night in dreams. Most of the content of the dreams are forgotten soon after waking though.
I can totally relate to this! Ever since I can remember dreaming, I have had extremely vivid dreams. In fact, a few days ago, I dreamt that I had overdrawn my bank account. I remembered it so vividly, that I was in a panic and ran to check my bank balance, becoming confused upon learning that I did indeed have money in the account. Sometimes after a particularly vivid dream, I am left with a certain feeling for the entire day, be it good or not so good. I dream about music sometimes, so much so that I have even written songs, melodies that I hum to myself in the morning as I am getting ready. (note: I have no musical training whatsoever) Rarely do I dream about people I actually know. It’s as if I am truly entering a new dimension when I fall asleep.
All in all, I rather enjoy my personal dreamworld. It’s exciting, always changing, and will undoubtedly provide material and characters for whatever novel I end up writing in the future. 
Now a quote about making dreams come true:
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. ~ Harriet Tubman
I have always had goals, plans, dreams. It’s just how I am wired. I must have something to work toward, to look forward to. For most of my life, I have never doubted that I would not make those things happen. Sometime a couple of years ago, I began to doubt. I more or less had a personal crisis, because if I do not succeed, I have no idea what else I could do. I have no room for backup plans. Well that’s not entirely true. I have backup plans in case a certain path to my goal is blocked or otherwise not the right one, but that’s a given, you’re supposed to have backup plans for that. I have no backup plan for my ultimate goal, no safety net, because I can not do anything else. It’s that simple, yet complicated. Anyway, I doubted myself something fierce, to the point of actually thinking about other life options. And there were none. When I realized that: THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS, it was like something smacked me upside the head. I had to make it happen, and only I had the power to do so.
No one else can make your dreams happen for you.
