A Conversation Between Dream and Reality
Dream: Don’t you get tired of being always self righteous and over calculating?
Reality: My self righteousness only comes in my ability to abandon hope and replace it with reason, to lead the future with vision, and look at the past as a learning, and live the present with cautiousness. So yes I am over calculating, because if I let things happen your way we wouldn’t get anywhere.
Dream: But you don’t get to taste the flavors of life if you don’t take the edge off and live a little- just put your sun shades on and strut around smelling every flower, engaging in every conversation, feeling like life is more than a series of events; it’s a mosaic of moments collated together to create the most magnificent tableau.
Reality: Do you hear yourself speak?! Your language is as absurd as your view on life. There is no time to take it all in and breathe it all out. You are so blinded by the world and its supposed pleasures that while you’re strutting around smelling your stupid flowers, I’m thinking of ways of preserving our ecosystem, while you are out making silly conversations with people that would add no benefit to your life, I am out making real connections with real people who can make a real difference. Your illusion clouds your judgment, whereas my reality check never bounces.
Dream: Your reality check will bounce when chasing me becomes near impossible. Without me you don’t have the vision you speak of, without me you won’t have reason to continue moving forward- I am your locomotive and your catalyst, I am the reason you exist.
Reality: But then by the same token, dear Dream, to realize you there has to be a ME- so that makes me the commander in chief. I don’t chase, I command and execute.
Dream: Haven’t you ever heard the term “chasing after a dream”? For someone who claims to know so much, you clearly don’t know anything at all.
Reality: No one has absolute knowledge, I never claimed to know it all- don’t be conclusive. Please leave deduction and analysis for those who know how to use it. And for your information I don’t chase a dream, I chase an end.
Dream: And what might that end be?
Reality:….
Dream: I see your words fail you- not so cheeky now are you? Let me fill in the blank for you- your end is realizing your dream.
Reality: Okay Little Miss Sunshine, calm down, you didn’t even give me a moment to explain. Not all of us wear our hearts on our sleeves, like you. Think first, speak after.
Dream: Heartless and cold
Reality: Delusional and pathetic
Dream: Rather pathetic in hope than dampened by regret.
Reality: Rather having feet on solid ground than hovering mid air.
Dream: There’s no point in arguing, we’ll never see eye to eye.
Reality: You’re right- why did we bother having this conversation in the first place?
Dream: May be I thought we could come to a mutual agreement on something for a change.
Reality: Agree to disagree sort of a thing?
Dream: Sure- to put it simply.
Reality: No please write a poem about it
Dream: No please give me a two page report analysis about it- double space with one inch margins.
Instinct: Both of you shut up- just trust in me- I will throw in a little reality and a sparkle of dream. Now go sleep the pair of you- I’m trying to rest to keep up the balance between you two exhausting morons!
