Challenge - Dream

This challenge can be done digitally or traditionally.

Dream...

Dreaming is a large part of our lives. There are the kinds that fill our minds while we sleep. Sometimes we remember them, sometimes we don't. Then there are the dreams we have about our future. The kind where we meet Prince Charming, win the lottery, travel the world, or possibly get that job we have wanted since we were 5 years old.

In this challenge I would like you to make a page about:

1: what you dreamt last night. The dream that you still remembered when you woke up this morning.

-or-

2: your daydream. The very thing that you dream about the most. Finding Mr. Perfect. What to do with a million dollars. Travel around the world. Your dream, your page.

Here are a few titles, quotes, and poems you might like to use on your page.

4: Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.
5: Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. (Louisa May Alcott)
6: Having a dream that you don't pursue, is like buying an ice cream cone and watching it melt all over your hand!

Only as high as I reach can I grow
Only as far as I seek can I go
Only as deep as I look can I see
Only as much as I dream can I be.

What is a dream?

A dream is a magical thing
A rainbow of joy in your heart
Your own secret corner
Where no one can go
Where the path
To fulfillment can start

A dream lures you on,
Always one step ahead
Until you have caught it,
And then there's always another
To capture your soul
And lead you onward again.

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes by Donna McElroy

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep.
In dreams, you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for, you keep.

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smilin' through.
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you'll keep on believing
The dream that you wish for will come true.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you have fun doing this challenge.
