STEPS TO TAKE WHILE BUILDING A DREAM (2)


When we dream, we are able to fulfil all our thoughts, live out  all our  life expectations, achieve all our aims, and this is just within twenty minutes of sleep, why? It's because dream time is faster than earthly time, you think what you like and realise it, while in life you think of something and then work towards achieving it. 
So many are in the abstract reality of their dreams: they  live in the mirage of their aims and instead of waking up from slumber, they become the villagers  living in their own dreams,
some wait for their goals  to be fulfilled without taking a step, I must confess, they really dwell In their dreams,
some think of gaining all they've ever wanted in a tinkle of an eye, I must say, they are dreaming dreamers drowning in a dug dam in their dreamland.

In dreams, you experience things that are unreal, you can get rich without working, you can  travel from place to place without any disturbance or hindrance; no delayed flight, no throwing of punching curses on highways, but when you wake up to realise it was a dream, you either get depressed, be happy (that's if you were poor in yours) or otherwise, but those things are not real, they are imaginations, no matter how greatly you enjoyed the wealth you've acquired in the dream, you can never taste it, for it was only a dream and void of grasp. But there's an exception to the voidness of dreams ; it's waking up to realise them, this may take more time, yes, but there's no 'ctrl V and P to success, you have to work for it.
So many live in a false world, dreaming daily of cars and mansions, but they never build up courage to dig a hole in the soil for as little as a foundation; they are dreamers obsessed with mirages.

A dreamer is not one who sleeps to gain everything when he wakes, but he who works towards the achievement of  what he calls dreams without pampering his sleep.

Are you a dreamer?
Are you an achiever?
Yes?
No? ( it's up to you to decide)
Don't dream alone, achieve it.
Don't swim in a waterless ocean.  
Make sure you don't dream alone; achieve it.

TWO WATERS by Mide Benedict

                               When two stones meet, they say, either one breaks the other, or they both break into pieces, but when two waters mix, they become one, and inseparable: so was the way it went for Akanji and Aduke. The day was bright at that time. The light of the sun shinned through the clouds, covering large fields of grasses and making them appear very radiant in their green skins. Akanji had kept it in mind for long: his heart pierced him badly that he knew that day was the day he would regain his freedom. Aduke, an elegant lady with vibrant smiles, enormous charms that made men melt on sighting her, sat beside Akanji as they usually did everyday. Many men have dreamt of Aduke in the night when they snoozed in bed with snores. In fact, many wanted to have her as something; be it wife, mistress or whatever just to have a taste of her, but the more they spoke to her, the more she ...

Mute by Mide Benedict

That Friday, everyone was spitless, yet it felt as if we spoke all at once in fading tones. Adiza, Halimat's sister wore it differently, her eyes, blood red, her tongue, twisted. Mine was twisted too. Halimat laid right there, silent and unmoving; each gaze at her drove tears out of my eyes.
