Did you know your brain do not know the difference between the real and the imagined? Science has proven that if we do it with frequency, the well imagined visualization of ourselves accomplishing our dreams can be almost as strong as the real ones! what an interesting fact, doesn't it? so, I have got a question for you, how do your dreams look like?
I would like to make a quick test with you, could you take just 5-15 minutes of your day, right now, or after reading this post to visualize your dreams coming true? can you do that? great! but, how do you do that? well, every human being is different, I want you to visualize you living your dreams as you do that specific thing that gets you out of the "reality" for example, with me, If I take the time to listen to some of my favorite chillstep songs, I just fly in my thoughts and my dreams start becoming real pictures in my mind, so, as you visualize anything, try to do something that makes you feel exactly like that, maybe drawing, listening to some music, singing (if you don't have one, it's okay) and as you do it or not depending on whether you have this thing or not, start visualizing your dreams coming true with details, imagine your most beautiful dreams finally happening, but really put yourself there, in such a way you can say "I finally did it" make it as real as possible, visualize the time, the weather, the people around you, the place, how you're feeling, and after doing that, answer yourself, how do my dreams look like?
I've got a lot of dreams and goals, but I got one specific ultimate dream, to travel the world, but I do not want to do that just because of the beautiful views I'll witness, or just the delicious foods and touristic places, but the people, they make my dreams be colored, look at some of my dreams in my bucket list: Making part of different communities all over the world, kiss someone in another country, look through a window of a plane with my mom by my side, learn how to cook one special dish from every country I travel to, have as many meaningful conversations with foreigners as possible, feel I'm connecting to them, knowing their culture and concerns, and so on...
How does my dream look like?
It's a sunny and beautiful day in Bhutan, I'm walking on a bumpy and simple road with my future friends and locals, I feel extremely grateful as the fresh and cold air touches my skin, I look up and see the sky, the rolling green hills, there are birds flying all over the place, regardless of the simplicity in the place I'm just happy and light, we're laughing as the locals tell us their experiences in that country, I look forward to that same night, where we'll be hosted at one of the local's house to see their real life as close as possible, when the dusk falls down, my friends and I are drinking a classic local hot drink at a local's house while we wait for them to eat some food, excited to see the Buddha Dordema in the next day, which day it is? June 16th, 2025, my birthday.
That's just one of my visualizations, one of my biggest goal and dream: 'Travel to at least fifty countries' so, I do have a lot of visualizations, too much to write, lol.
Just one of the infinity: It's sunny and a bit windy morning in Havana. I'm sitting in a rattan chair on the teeny-tiny balcony, in front of me another colorful house with pots of flowers, clotheslines, some old stuff which we tend to keen on our balcony. There is a tiny table with chocolate biscuits and a cup of milkshake near me, behind me there are persianas, pot of big plants and the entrance to the cosy kitchen. There's a good friend of mine in another rattan chair, we're chatting and discussing where else we're gonna go on a trip to. The street, filled with yellow-orange sunlight, is narrow and bustling: children are on their way to school, mothers do their household chores, some open their small markets, newsstands, others stand on the balconies contemplating the sunrise like me. Everything is peaceful and breathtaking. I'm waking up, still in my pajamas, and getting ready to do my lovely remote job, jejeje
dude, that's so beautiful! I literally visualized it as I read
This is awesome! I'll give it a try: I'm watching the sun set on the horizon, as if it is sinking down into the Mediterranean sea. I'm on a small island in Greece after graduating from university. My friends, all from different countries around the world, are with me as we celebrate the first of many travels. We're listening to our favorite music and taking photos in the picturesque landscape of Greece. I have a year of travel ahead of me, and I am filled with equal parts excitement and peace.
@TaraM Yes! I first think about Cuba or Greece(those blue and white buildings, narrow but light streets between walls, the transparent water, flowers on the windowsills)
@TaraM, what a beautiful dream! try to do it every day in different ways and you'll see the difference it'll make in your life, and I'm freaking sure you will accomplish each one of your dreams
