I got an e-mail from Editor Bob (he always sends me interesting e-mails, I have no clue who he is, but anyway his e-mails are quite interesting, so I don't mind, and don't ask questions), saying today is Dream Day. Which is quite fascinating because it reminds me of nice dreams, dreams of holidays without thinking about what we'll eat, without having to take care of the household, without rushing the kids to daycare, then rushing to work, after work, rushing back to be in time to pick up the kids and then rushing them home to prepare dinner, feed them, wash them, put them to bed, etc. It makes me think of winning the lottery, or Euro Millions, what would I do if I were a millionaire, but also makes me realise it's nice to still have dreams, which are not yet realised, which might not ever become reality (like being a millionaire), because what would life be if you could not dream about anything without knowing you're able to make your dreams come true?
It's nice to be way down on the company's ladder, so you can always try to climb up, how frightening would it be to be all the way on top, looking down and realising you're all alone, that everyone is down there and no one will catch you if you fall (and it's quite a fall, isn't it?).
I still have loads of dreams; I dream about owning a car big enough for our family, I dream about going away on holiday with the kids, I dream about our kids growing up in a world that will be nice to them. I dream about them become whatever they want. I dream about a different job, about earning more money. I dream about a house with a garden. I dream about all my friends and how much I love them, wether close or far apart.
I've realised a lot of dreams, I have a loving family others would kill for, I have a good job which I mostly still enjoy, I have nice colleagues, some of them I consider friends, I have brilliant friends, I am happy.
Thank you Editor Bob, whoever you are, for making me realise all this once more.
And you, dear reader, what do you dream about?? ;-)
Never give up on your dreams, because the best is yet to come!

Dreams..the fuel of great men. Yes I agree, life without dreams is sad.There is of course a difference between dreams and dreams. Becoming a millionaire isn't something that keeps you going in life I'd say.. especially not if you're relying on the lotto as you wouldnt activily be doing anything to achieve this (except buying a lottery ticket every week). The dream of having your kids grow up in a nice world and wanting them to realise their own dreams in ambitions is something you can influence. I dream of lots of things too, I dream of silly things too. To have a nice cat and stuff, but these are things I kn ow I will get..as soon as I settle in somewhere. But my real amition is to be an internationally known artist. I want to give kids all over the world a fictive world they can escape in (and of course I want them to condider me as their god..muhahahahahHAHAAAAAAAAAA) ahem...
Dave, I'm quite sure a lot of your dreams will come true! :) it's nice to achieve the things you dream about whilst creating new dreams.
And uhh, in a way you already are an international known artist... you are known in Scotland, Ireland, England, Belgium, etc. :) but you seem to have forgotten, haven't you??
