1)?
I used to have a lot of lucid dreams in my younger days. I have them even now but less frequently. I remember my mom used to lovingly tell me, ‘Jishnu, you and your sky-high thoughts. Come back to reality now.’
My dreams were quite varied and to be honest they still reside at the back of my mind.
I’d sometimes dream of myself as a Prophet or a great social reformer who’s changed or changing the entire social structure of the world for the better.A ‘super-hero’ who keeps the oppressors of this world in check. Sometimes on a lesser extent, a billionaire philanthropist.
These are some of the crazy lucid dreams of mine which I had and still have sometimes.
Am I embarassed by them? Hell no!
I’d rather aim big, no! biggest and fail(well, chances are extremely high) than aim small and achieve or maybe still fail.
Now, that’s me! What about you? You have a dream? Say it aloud to yourself, to the entire universe (even if it’s the craziest one) and you might just give wings it to fly.

When do you feel ready to take on a challenge?
I guess it depends on the individual. The studious one will do a lot of homework before getting into the battleground.
Whereas a few of the other instinctive ones will enter with a little less homework, probably more guts and see how it works out. They generally hope to learn straight from the battleground itself.
To be honest, I’m kind of like that. Well, I know this way there’s a high chance of failure in the beginning of your journey even though beginner’s luck might save you a few times. But then either ways I prefer to learn the fight while actually fighting it.
It might look a bit reckless at times but I believe if you want something or dream of something, just go for it. Learn the trades by being in the thick of it.
So, this is how I am. A little instinctive.
What about you?
Om Shanti….?
