"Dreams are NOT that which we see while we are asleep;
but True DREAMS are that WHICH WILL NOT LET US SLEEP"
I'm not sure who exactly said this, but it was by one of the athlete taking part in the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
What a provocative statement! The athletes are driven because of the prize which is set before them - a medal & a recognition!
This is not talking about dreams which we see when we had eaten a lot, or something which flashes through our inside (?) while in deep slumber.
Real dreams are:
- that which we run after
- that which are worth pursuing
- that which is worth our sacrifice
- that which keep us awake
... because we don't want to settle for anything less!
It's a motivating factor, which drives us until we see it accomplished!!
Do we have such dreams, which we are pursuing after?
Are those dreams which we run after, inspired by God, who is able to empower us to see its fulfillment?
Let's dare to DREAM BIG in God and for God!
And may our dreams be inspired by God, for His purposes - be it dreams that we dream:
a) in our sleep or while we are awake;
b) while talking with someone or while we listen to someone;
c) while overhearing someone talking with others or while we ponder over certain things in quietness ...
Let's DREAM to make a difference for the Kingdom!

Hi Rajan, I am trying again to post. I really love that quote about dreams. It challenges me- what thought hangs with me and provokes me- is it something foolish like "I wish I had said this when so and so said that", or is it seeking after the glory of God? It does remind me that after I had been too ill for many years to go to India, I would dream that I was there ministering. So sometimes our sleeping dreams are for the Kingdom of God as well!
Great Quote!!!
