Psychologists believe that dreaming is not only pleasant, but even beneficial for the general condition. After all, dreaming of something big, a person develops himself spiritually and externally, strives for his desire. However, as it turned out, there is a difference between just a dream and a cherished one. The latter represents the goal of a particular person, towards which she is already heading or is about to begin. So, if the cherished dream is a kind of guideline, then how does it affect a person, and, most importantly, how to achieve the dream of a lifetime?
What is a cherished dream?
If we consider a dream from the point of view of an ordinary person, then we can get a definition of what a cherished dream is. So, under the cherished dream, many of us understand a certain base or foundation around which all thoughts and actions revolve.
This is something without which a person simply loses the meaning of his existence and does not understandwhy would he continue to live on this planet. By the way, it is the lack of a real dream that leads to a large number of suicides among both teenagers and adults. Therefore, according to psychologists, it is so important to have the very thing for which it is worth living and moving forward.
Separation of dreams by importance
There is an opinion that there are special criteria by which one can determine the degree of importance of a person's dream. Like when a little boy dreams of a new truck. Is this a cherished dream? Many will say that this is a small dream. But about the dream of his girlfriend, a neighbor girl who dreams of becoming a doctor and saving people from terrible diseases, many will say that this is a cherished dream. But therein lies the mistake..
It turns out that the degree of importance of a person's dream is not measured by price or morality at all. And with what zeal he wants to get it. And it doesn’t matter at all whether it’s a toy truck or a beloved grandmother’s cure, if thoughts around one and the other occupy most of the day. It turns out that the cherished dream is what overshadows all other desires and goals. It is to her that a person aspires and wants to achieve at all costs.
How to fulfill a dream?
Many people are concerned about the same question: "What to do to make the dream come true?" The answer to this question is quite simple and complex at the same time.
The first thing you need to do is to clearly outline your cherished dream. And it is desirable to write it down on paper. For example, a person from childhood wants to help people. But how would you liketo do this, he did not decide for many years. Sit down and really focus on your feelings. Imagine different situations in which you help people. In which of them do you feel harmonious and more confident? Record these feelings on paper. Thus, by analyzing and imagining, you will finally get to what exactly your dream is.
The second step in achieving a cherished dream is a plan or a step-by-step instruction. Again, it's best to write down each step on paper. Think about where you need to start making your dream come true. Maybe a trip to a certain place or communication with a specific person? After that, formulate the next step and describe it.
The third thing to do is actually start acting on your plan. If your dream is to move to Brazil, then it would be logical to start by gathering information and making an appointment with a Portuguese teacher.
How not to give up on the way to your dream?
It often happens that due to some life circumstances a person loses strength and cannot continue moving towards the once meaning of his life. And here it is extremely important to understand whether this happened due to the fact that, having seen some other aspects of the cherished dream, a person ceased to experience that very thrill and delight, or his hands dropped due to laziness and failures encountered on the way. In the first case, it is recommended to conduct self-analysis or seek help from a professional psychologist. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the fact that the once most cherishedpeople's dreams become something familiar and mediocre and are no longer of such interest. After all, a person grows morally and often simply “grows” out of his desires.
In the second case, psychologists recommend remembering and once again clearly and colorfully imagining in your head what part of the path has already been done for. If the end result still warms your heart, and a pleasant chill runs through your body, then do not give up and make another attempt to move forward. May your dreams come true!
