Blog 2 - Dreams

        Personally, I believe that dreams are the essence of the sense of purpose that we give ourselves. More than anything I think dreams exist to keep us focused on our goals by allowing us to envision "what could be" so long as we keep working hard at it.
        As for coincidence, I certainly would say it exists. I never liked the idea of "fate" since it often seems used as justification for defeatism. I think just about every aspect of our lives has a sense of "randomness" to it, at least as far as we can prepare for things. I think our personal choices tend to manipulate the events and people we encounter in life, and people often mistake that for fate.
        I think memory is like a dream in that it often holds significance to us, whether it be consciously or unconsciously. I've always held a fair amount of stock in the idea that people tend to remember what they want to remember, for better or for worse. I believe that, like dreams, recurring memories are often an indicator or reminder of what's important to us.
