Raised on dreams

The jetpack or flying car, Martians. Ray guns. A perfect society…

You learn what’s impossible. The world is crushed.

Yes love could’ve have been included on that list. That’s not impossible though.

I am a dream. My mind, my spirit, my soul are dreams. All is a dream. Do not be ashamed of what was in your childhood, now adulthood. All is one and the same. All is NOW! All is a dream we live. Enjoy the magic.

When I was younger the dreams that I can vaguely remember seen so scattered, hugely fanciful and grandiose. Flying… knowing all… being able to grant wishes… I don’t seem to miss those…

The ones I regret loosing the most… were the more realistic ones… travel… living in a lighthouse… among a few others that I can’t seem to put into words…

I remember snatches of a few dreams from childhood. In the daytime I was on my bike or climbing trees. I did dream of having a club but there was no one to come. I dreamed of doing things that characters in my book did, but couldn’t pull that off. My kites didn’t get off the ground or soon got caught in trees to remain there till winter to remind me. Dreams… I was busy surviving at school.

Crazy… 15 characters

hmmm dreams eh, well mine were certainly shattered at a young age. but if the truth be told it’s also given me some wonderful ideas for books to be written, songs to be recorded or sold, looks to achieve, inventions to try out. it’s odd the way things work out…so long as i dont die before my natural time and u get to achieve these things as do my kids then maybe just maybe it hasn;t turned out so bad afterall…unless of course you count the loss of my husband. was he always going to die on that date? i’ll never know. fate can be cruel especially when it’s manipulated to please a certain section of people whatever the cost to others but certain damage can be repaired if both parties are willing. you know i never thought i’d say this but i must be someone pretty damn special to have gone through such ■■■■ in my life or at least i used to think so. quite how anyone could be as unlucky as i have been i don’t know…it would seem that if there is a god then he hates me…'ark at me so self important…anyway i digress, dreams…yes…i still have them even though i’m not a kid anymore. they don’t disappear with age, they just change somewhat i think …dream on people and put those dreams into action. don’t waste your life thinking about them…try and achieve them, little step by little step. or as the song says if you can;t get to cloud 9 try cloud 8…view’s just as good from there apparently. :slight_smile:

Dreams, or cartoons, comics, movies we viewed? Almost the same thing and they tend to spill over from one to another. Example, JRR Tolkien used his recurring dream about Atlantis sinking to write the account of the sinking of Numenor in his works.

Heavily…sorcerers, monsters, demons, good faeries, heros, legends…

I pretty much entered the life of Fantasia, which I saw in 69 as a young child…it’s filled with all kinds of deities and magic…similar to Alice in Wonderland which I also saw as a child

Fantasia began to make a profit from its $2.28 million budget after its return to theaters on December 17, 1969. The film was promoted with a psychedelic-styled advertising campaign, and it became popular among teenagers and college students who were reported to have taken drugs for a psychedelic experience.[97] Animator Ollie Johnston recalled that young people "thought we were on a trip when we made it

These films had a major impact on me…my Mom insisted i see fantasia because of some of the things i drew and talked about…and I feel these shows had an influence in my exploration of the occult and psychedelics in my teens and 20s.
