I have a dream

I have dreams, I know we all do. What are some of yours?

I dream to go traveling throughout north and south america by foot, but more realistically by a truck or bus.

But due to my fear of travel and season change being a red flag for bipolar, and my own doubts in myself, my wellness, and my capabilities, I haven't done it yet. And I say YET because I still hope to live out my dream someday.

Do you have a dream?

Have any obstacles in the way?

Living out your dream right now?

" I often repeat television shows I watched before bed or dureing the day. I MUST leave my body dureing sleep because I always wake up with sweat. I have way too many about my dog that I had to put down last year. Never good ones, cheating husband or dyeing family member. 2 ambian ..no dreams at all. "

" Gosh, I'm really sorry to hear that. I really meant an aspiration, but as far as night time dreams go I used to have nightmares about masses of people suffering and such every night for a long time.. it's not a fun time if you ask me. do you have any aspirations or goals or fantasys you have in your life? like- i dream to be a rock star, or i dream to be president of the united states, or i dream to be a mother and have a family one day.... i dono.. something like that?

" Ultimate all-time dream is to be happy.

Biggest obstacle = Me.

Still dreaming, still believing it is possible. "

" I have many dreams. I would love to have a consignment shop exhibiting various art forms of individuals with mental disorders. I would contribute a percentage of the proceeds to an organization of the artists choice to provide awareness to the general public and congress of the lack of financial support and ignorance of the general public. A place where people can grow and learn about what seems to have to be hidden due to discrimination, etc. Welp, that's one of them! Love your post! Never stop my friend! "

" I'd like to get on a plane whenever. to go wherever.Just to do things like that.Spontaneously.Without thinking.

Also to carry guitars around without the police thinking I'm some terrorist.The paranoia in England is comically tragic. "

" Go YOU, Lou!!! I kind of have an opposite problem. I had my dreams come true. I got the man. I got the kids. I got the house. I've got the grandkids. I've got a maltese dog......I'm having problems figuring out how to dream anymore....

maybe that I was physically well...I'm working on that. I've lost 40 lbs now. :-) I'm trying to get off diabetes, cholosterol, and blood pressure meds. I guess those are pretty significant dreams... "

" I have lots of dreams about traveling. Grenadine & Lou, you are inspiring me to be a Nike commercial and "Just Do It."

I did an Outward Bound wilderness survival course years ago which did a world of good for my self esteem.

Perhaps after this coming school year, I will take the entire summer off and backpack lots of places!!!

It will be my last chance before finishing my last year of school and going back to work.

I am thinking I will buy a wall may and use the push pins for places I want to visit. I have a globe, but don't want to damage it with stick pins.

I will plan my routes and meet lots of new people and LIVE! "
