Dreamseller by Augusto Cury

Just a note, this post has nothing to do with the book Dreamseller-Augusto Cury, I just thought the title is appropriate, but hate not referencing to the author.


In a way, I grew up with a set of stubborn thoughts. Thoughts that I thought wouldn't be creative enough to differ. Okay I'm not saying I'm creative now, I doubt it, but I have managed to differ from my original set of thoughts through the various experience every human takes on in life. I grew up thinking that dreamers are high school drop-outs, people with no jobs, the homeless, the helpless, the druggies, and the hippies... Failures. Maybe not all of you think the same prior to 'growing-up', but in my mother tongue, in a way, the word translate into something like a 'hopeless hopeful' the 'hopeless' being an object or person and 'hopeful' being a feeling. I also grew up with a different set of thoughts that changes everything, that changes... the way I think. Dreamers to me are noe the hopeful, the intelligent, the inventors and the ones who will change the world. I would say 'one day will change the world', but in fact no, they already are changing the world. I quote from my friends, on their opinions of dreamers:

• Opinion 1: really creative and maybe delusional.
• Opinion 2: someone who has an unrealistic but great vision of what will come in the future. Will try really hard to make it come true.
• Opinion 3: someone who believes in the impossible and waits for the 'expect the unexpected' moments.

It's clear that what they think of dreamers, is the latter set of thoughts that I have thought of them. Although the first opinion has that opposing view of dreamers being delusional, or else, mentally challenged. I have to admit it's true. With all the historical geniuses, or high-achievers, not one I think, not one has perfect health. Albert Einstein had dyslexia, Graeme Obree had depression and attempted suicide. They wanted to either see the world in a better place or want to achieve over someone else. Einstein found or created the theory of relativity among other things, while Graeme Obree beat the cycling world record in his time more than three times. These are dreamers, stopping at nothing to reach the top of the world. Dreamers aren't people who just sit on their window sill and dream of a perfect world, but rather sitting at a lab or a bike and making it happen. Dreamers aren't the people who make a perfect world, but have a specific thought and work with other differing dreamers to change the world. An inventor will want to work with a designer. A psychologist will want to work with teachers. now go figure why...
Can a perfectionist change? Yes they can, but that's not what I mean. What I mean is that people who have such a tidy mindset and lifestyle will tend to do what they think is perfect and will act towards their thoughts. No dreamers are perfectionists, their thoughts race from the furthest tip of our solar system to the deepest core of the Sun. They have a wide range of thoughts, although I have said that they have a specific thought, it is because of that wide range of idealism that they find flaw in one thing (at times several things too) and move towards that specific thing. Before moving to the next flaw.
Think of the stars (these thoughts are now taken from a friend of mine) you will think of how vast the universe is and that is there a definite end to it? Or is it Infinite? There's no saying. That's how wide a dreamer's idealism are. Even if the universe is finite, how much ideas can you fit in it? you're barely a pixel compared to the Sun, and the Sun is barely a quarter of a pixel of the universe.

 This is not a challenge, but a request. A request for all of us to walk hand-in-hand to be dreamers. 

Dreamers who will change the world. 

Dreamers who will create ideas and make them happen effectively for the greater good. 

The greater good...
