To dream is to live ... It is to let life happen

To dream is to live ... It is to let life happen.
 "Blessed are the dogs, who by their sight discover their friends."
(Machado de Assis)
"As if the whole story had been just a dream, we had an immense difficulty to stop dreaming." (John Grogan-Marley and I)

"Humans dream about things that interest them in their daily lives, although they are more visual and less logical. There is no reason to think that animals are different. From the point where dogs are extremely attached to their human owners, our dog is likely to dream of our face, our smell, our playfulness either to cheer or even to tease you, "said Deirdre professor at Harvard (USA).

Dream as big as you want, but do not live by dreams, try to make them happen before time goes by ..... we must be aware because chasing dreams is part of a person's character, dreaming is vital for balance psychological. However, I try to learn to give attention to my dreams, not only because of areas of my formation, but because "dreams shed light on the dark places where reason has not yet come" (jordan B. Peterson - in book 12 rules for life)

Dreams contribute to the psychological digestion of our life experiences. So when we sleep we not only reestablish the body but also the mind. All dreams have meaning and if we do not remember what we dreamed it is not because we do not, but rather a sign that we need to train our memory.

Whoever has a dog knows how much they teach us to live better and how much they teach us to be better people. In reality when people have a dog, they are never alone. The simple fact that the dog is present at home already makes all the difference. As someone said, it was said (Octave Mirbeau - French writer) that "dogs that know nothing, understand what we say, and we who know everything, are unable to understand what they say." said the writer Victor Hugo - like all people who have a dog - ask: "just look in the eyes of your dog, how can you still doubt that he has a soul?"

And now watch how a dog lives. The dog does not mourn the past nor care about the future. He lives intensely every moment. He enjoys the food, delights in a long play, takes a good "nap" and for him to take a ride with the owner is the best thing in the world. "A dog does not need modern cars, mansions or clothes of the latest fashion. Symbols do not mean anything to him. A piece of wood is for a joke. A dog does not judge others by its color, creed or class, but by who they are inside. A dog does not care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, intelligent or stupid. If you give him your heart, he will give you his. (John Grogan) "Book Marley and Me"

 And in order to finish once more, I turn to this example: "The dog is a gentleman," wrote Mark Twain. "It's true, do not lie, no tricks, no cheating, you're generous, you're selfless, you have confidence." But there's more. "If you think dogs do not know how to count, try putting three cookies in your pocket and then give them only two to eat." (Phil Pastoret) "Always recognize the qualities of the dream of life and reduce attachment and aversion. Practice goodwill toward all beings. Be loving and compassionate, no matter what others say or do for you. What they are going to do will not matter so much when you will see it as a dream. The trick is to have positive intention during the dream. This is the essential point. This is true spirituality. "(Tibetan Book of Life and Death)
