To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
This fascinating lyric comes from the Broadway show Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Will any dream do? Or do we all have specific dreams as Joseph did that can predict the future?
Or reflect the past?
Or help us be more self-aware?
Or help us listen—really listen?
Or help us see for certain what we thought we knew?
Psychologist Alfred Adler’s posited that dreams are an open pathway toward our true thoughts, emotions and actions.
I wonder if sleep is a gift given by God in order that we may dream?
Do you dream in color?
Do you dream at all?
If not, you can try this experiment in generative absurdist lingustics—a dream generator.
Do you have recurring dreams?
Do you remember your dreams?
Can you pick a dream back up after waking?
Do you dream epic dreams?
Do you have someone interpret your dreams?
Do you die if you hit the bottom before waking up?
Are dreams a way to complete us? to make us whole? to heal?
What do all you dreamers out there think? Weigh in on this controversial subject.
