What you dream of? Angels, demons, that beautiful girl who's your neighbour? ;)
There are some things that become a regular in our dreams. For example, I often dream of airplanes (particularly crashing airplanes, but strangely without any fatalities), of shit not cleaned up in closets (really!), of himalayan mountains, to name a few.
So, do we dream of things that we like or hate? Or, of things that we wished for, but didn't achieve in our life? Or those that are just routine aspects of our life?
All the above could be true to some extent. But what I noticed was that things I'm obsessed over appear regularly and forcefully in my dreams.
I love flying, but till this date, I'm slightly afraid of flying despite all the statistical evidence that flight is one of the (if not, the) safest mode of transport. Still, I can't wait for the day when I get a chance to fly. I even wish I could fly unaided some day. In short, I'm obsessed over flight.
Same for that "shit" stuff. Whenever I happen to visit a toilet and notice some shit not cleaned, it beats the shit out of me! Simply, I'm obsessed over shit not cleaned.
Talking about Himalayas, who wouldn't love even just watching the magnificent peaks rising far above as if to touch the sky! And the tranquil gardens and large, open plains! Same here - I'm simply obsessed with Himalayas!
This also taught me something: if obsession over something can affect an activity (e.g. dream) on which you don't have control over, think what it can do for activities (e.g. reading, coding, eating) on which you have absolute control.
Then I also recollected that whatever I could call as achievement in my life, they were all because I obsessed over them. Ofcourse, one can't go far with just obsession, but nevertheless it's a good (probably the only feasible) starting point.
So, what are you obsessing over?
