Any ideas on how to make our dreams come true by any stretch of the imagination?
I promise you I shall, my dear Nelson, on the Arabic translation!
I think only hard working and decision to success are the two ways to fulfil our dreams
Few things are important and should be adopted step wise..
1) Be specific about your dream.
2) Turn your dream into a burning desire.
3) Turn your burning desires into goals.
4) Plan.
5) Take action now.
6) Set short-term goals.
7) Review your progress regularly.
8) Knowledge;Knowing exactly what is your dream and accepting that is exactly what you want.
9) Be confident; Have no doubts in yourself what so ever,this will lead to reverse thinking which will surround you with positive energy and you will receive a corresponding positive result.
10) Meditate; Relax and calm your mind,soul and body.
11) Using the above steps and work towards your dream with all your focus,concentration and confidence.
Marwan et el., the harder we work, the LUCKIER we get,
The more positive we THINK, the more PRODUCTIVE yet,
The more Cheerfully we serve,
The more we are Entrusted to serve with love,
We will admit our dreams do come true,
We may not be rich or famous, though.
@Marwan et al, only hard work and perseverance, faith in yourself will make out the dream its own success!
My dear friends,
Some describe farfetched (but great) ideas as day-dreaming! How can any of us make these ideas see the light of the day?
Just as failures occur every day, so do dreams come true daily: the proof is patent offices, never running out of discoveries. Hard work is not enough: a mule works hard but gets nowhere. The will to succeed is not enough: many self-confident individuals apply for jobs, but few get hired. Education to help the dreamer analyze his dream helps orient him. But between the analysis and the realization of the dream, there must be a certain spark, a special flash of insight-- the "eureka" experience--, to make the dream come true in a brilliant way. A dream emerges from non-being into being over the bridge of discovery.
Very educated, thoughtful and insightful words, Cecilia and Nelson. I keep learning.
Marwan asked, "What ways do you see feasible to make our dreams come true?" Cecilia, since you are here, you with your expertise in visual studies know that art and architecture give materiality to dreams. Here is a painting by Edwin Lord Weeks, "A Court in the Alhambra" (1876). It idealizes the Spanish Moors. The artistic subgenre, of which there are many examples, is termed "Alhambrism." This is obviously a dream vision, because the Briton Lord Weeks may have visited the Alhambra palace, but he never saw swans floating on its reflecting pools nor flamingoes. (Flamingoes are only to be found in the New World.) Nor did he ever see Moorish ladies garbed in harem style as here. Marwan has written a famous book on Orientalism in the U.S., and if he ever published volume 2 on Orientalism in Britain, he could reproduce the Weeks painting on his cover (as I have for one of my books).

Patrick, you need to focus if you want to catch fire and compose good classical music on the theme of daydreaming. Composing is one of the least "material" ways for materializing dreams, making them come true. The collection of Western music on this topic is large, but I should mention Franz Liszt´s "Liebestraum" (love dream) and two that my mother played on the piano when I was young: Robert Schumann´s "Träumerie" and Claude Debussy´s "Reverie," which are two synonymous titles. The Debussy youtube is especially excellent.

Cecilia, I cannot claim credit for the question, authored by Marwan Obeidat, who has written extensively on American refashioning of Islamic culture. When I went to the Alhambra in May 2012, I was distressed to see its advanced stage of deterioration. Still, my daughter selected the Weeks painting for my new book. However untrue to life it may be in the details, the composition in itself is exceptionally beautiful-- my editor thought it a classic design--. It is the dreamed vision of a locale which immerses the spectator in a dreamlike atmosphere. It is a dream-within-a-dream, and much more convincing than the dream of the sleeping fetus in the dreamlike landscape of Dalí´s "The Persistence of Memory" (1931), which you can see in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art of New York City:

As you probably know, Cecilia, I used the painting on a book interpreting lyric poetry (Lorca´s) in view of music (Falla´s). Both wrote artwork within the tradition of Alhambrism, this dreamlike idealization of al-Andalus, Moorish Spain.
Gaudí was a modernist architect nearly sainted by the Church. Dalí was a clown, a showman, a "farsante." I taught his painting for over a decade and each time was less convinced of its seriousness.
Marwan, you´re probably asleep by now over in Jordan. If we´re talking about making dreams reality, and if (like you and me) we are involved with literary analysis, then we should open the floodgates and talk about the translation of dreams into literature. Dreams are such a major literary theme, that I should surrender the floor to you because I am certain you know more. For authors make their dreams come true merely by setting them down on paper. This is not as easy as it seems. I have a niece (Julie Orringer), who is a best-selling author. She really labors until all is correct.
In my childhood days I always see horror dreams and I never wished to fulfill those dreams ..now I see colorful dreams...
Oddly enough, surrealist painters like Joan Miró paint their nightmares, perhaps to exorcize these creatures.

Dear Михаил,
No, I agree with you! It is not building castles in the air. It is all about the need to work hard to make what we think of worthy of being accomplished--in a way.
Dear @Murad, you should bring the original resource which was used in "your" answer. Avoid plagiarism.

When you project yourself into success, you have to have enough balance of reality and a guiding marker as to where you are in the game. Sometimes, reality can be daunting and in your face that you dont get enough breather to realize what is happening and sometimes, it is daunting on how you are at a loss for answers. The real way to be of success with your personal goals is to have the right kind of people around you to tackle the struggles ahead.
