Dreams,thots...Whatever!!!

There are moments in time when thinking or even remembering seems like what am doing when what I am really doing in reminiscing or better still day dreaming-how I love that- the lovely castles with a million window that I build to live in with my whole possession of the multi million whatever mansion that I have all laid up in a choice area and live like a king in re-birth. What wonders those does and what miracle it all boils down to but the real wonder here is what brings up thought, what conjures such lovely connotation, the mind, the heart, the head or does it just enter your consciousness without hold barred? Is imagination or thought more like dream, birth in your sub conscious? Does it come about as a result of experience or wishes, wants or longings?

When a million things run across your mind like a flash in time, people say its about time up. Its when life is about to end but if that were true it would mean I must have died a couple of times before. How well I remember the fire that brought down that lovely house I use to be so proud of or how well the scar of my face formed with those liquid droplets of fire or how I almost lost speech because my tongue was cut into two when I was young.

The 2009 Encarta describes dream as a sequence of images that appear involuntarily to the mind of somebody who is sleeping, often a mixture of real and imaginary characters, places, and events. What comes to mind is the word involuntarily. Is it the same with imagination and daydreaming? Are they involuntary actions too? The same dictionary describes Daydreaming as a series of images, usually pleasant ones, that pass through the mind of somebody who is awake more like dreaming when awake. Does that make the action voluntary? Does it mean that we as human merely conjures up images so that we can play with them as we like much like we make movies? Are movies daydreams that someone is trying to express in pictures? If so does it generalize to every other form of art? Writing, drawing, sculpting etc?

Countless of time I have asked myself this questions without an answer and at this point I am just contented with living the daydream than prefer answers as it is now, this days I most likely prefer to just do what the art is and see what the expressions becomes ultimately hoping that in the long run it gets someone thinking. I most time often think of art as a way to help people put on their thinking cap, make you reason and create what be it music, poetry, acting and all other forms that are thus related.
