Now that we have set forth on new adventures and journeys it is time we sat down and talked about this site is all about! Let’s talk about what we mean when we talk about our dreams.
What exactly is a dream? Well that’s an odd question because it seems as if everyone has a different answer. When we discuss dreams here at the DreamAnvil we are not talking about simple goals, ot flights of fancy, or those images that appear between our ears while we sleep. We are not talking about daydreams, or cherished memories. Instead we are talking about ambition. We are speaking of unbridled and untamed imagination. We are talking about taking something that was once intangible and dragging it kicking and screaming into the real world. Dreams are not an idle pastimes, nor do they come to us easily and at our beckoning. They follow no predefined set of rules, or follow a neat and orderly path. Dreams can be messy. Dirty. Amazing. Uplifting. They are astonishingly beautiful and imperfect. Dreams are not the things that we simply desire to accomplish one day; they are the things that we dare to get up and do.
Dreams seek to conquer the unconquerable. To do what has not been done before. A crazy idea such as flying was once thought impossible. Today it is an everyday occurrence. We pass information around the globe in seconds. We have more computing power in our phones than NASA had when they launched rockets to the moon. All of these everyday miracles were once just dreams.
Dreams inspire us. The fire of a thousand souls ignited for a singular cause such as ending world hunger, or curing cancer started with the spark of a single dreamer. It is similar to that moment when we hear a song or view a painting that moves us. We are catching, if only for a moment, the dream of the artist. Enthralled by their passion and their art, we are invited in to share the dream.
Dreams provoke us to action, compelling the dreamer forward. They will take us farther than we ever thought we could go. We can attempt things we never dared to think of. Our dreams are much more than a goal, more than a singular desire. Dreamers sacrifice their time not for money or fame, but because they must.
So what are dreams? They are complicated. They transform our world. They transform us. They compel us to go beyond ourselves. They inspire us with joy and open our eyes and minds to the possibilities of tomorrow. Dreams are born in the fires of our passion, forged by our desires and tempered by our skill. This is the Dream Anvil. This is where Dreams are forged
