Be Inspired by the Dreams of Others...
I know from years of experience and study of the power of dreaming, that whatever you can dream – you can achieve.
We can all make dreams come true. I’ve seen it time and time again. And it’s so exciting!
I’ve experienced firsthand the power of dreaming and know it’s something anyone can do anytime, anywhere. It’s free and the process can be learnt – and it really is a process, or a practice. The more you do it, the better you become.
Something magical happens when you dream, and something even more powerful happens when you write your dreams down on paper. It brings the intangible within reach, the unclear into the spotlight ... it’s a life-changing process.
"…and something I’ve always loved is hearing the dreams of other people. I find it so heart-warming and inspiring."
It’s not a common thing for people to share their dreams – and you’re more likely to see someone in a movie sharing and chasing their dreams than hearing that in everyday life …unless of course you’re in our Dream Life community!
We regularly have events where people share their dreams - and it's magic (if that's on any interest, subscribe to our mailing list and you'll hear that way when our next event is).
A dreamer above sharing dreams at a Dream Life Masterclass.
But hearing the dreams of others is one of the most powerful ways of inspiring you to pursue your dream life too. Whatever that means for you.
I love asking people about their dreams and I especially love being in a room full of people sharing their dreams. It’s so special – everyone always naturally just want to help each other - and I always walk away inspired with new ideas for dreams I personally want to chase.
"I find it fascinating to hear what people want to achieve, and this often sets me on pathways to new dreams that I would never have thought of myself."
…which is why I want to share with you a long list of the dreams of everyday people.
Enjoy glancing over them. I hope you get some inspiration.
And please, add your dreams in the comments below if you’d like to share too. No matter how small or big. Your dreams matter.
Love,
Dream Life Founder
