The Science of Creating Your Dreams

The Science of Creating your Dreams…

Sounds like an oxymoron doesn’t it?

How can science possibly relate to dreams?

One’s hard and fast with proof and evidence, and one is airy-fairy fantasy and wishes.

Right????

Well maybe and maybe not.

Lets take a look at a few things and see what we can see.

Is electricity a dream?

In some parts of the world, yes, but it’s a real enough actuality in this country to the point that we feel we all have an inalienable right to it. We can measure it, count it, round it up, and prove it exists, but back before Ben Franklin started tinkering around with kites and lightning, electricity was just a dream, wasn’t it?

Is human flight a dream?

Well we whiz through the skies every day so much that we have to have traffic cops – air traffic controllers – to make sure we don’t run into one another up there. We can walk through countless calculations and scientific reasons that our flight is possible, but when the Wright brothers got started human flight was just plain crazy, right?

The same is true with your dreams and mine. They may seem like crazy fantasies, but there is a science to them as well. A methodical, measurable, calculable reason that you can have your dreams and that they do exist.

The catch is, the rest of the world only sees the scientific inevitability of your dreams once you have already achieved them. The proof is there for everyone else only AFTER the fact.

The magical part though is that the reality and scientific feasibility of it is there all along.

Benjamin Franklin didn’t invent electricity – it had always been there.

He discovered it.

The Wright Brothers didn’t invent human flight, they discovered how to do it.

Our dreams already exist. They’re just waiting for us to find them. Waiting for us to bring them into the world.

What dream do you want to start creating today?

Big or small, world changing or comparatively mundane, your dreams are yours for a reason. YOU are the one who is supposed to make them come true.

The task may seem a little daunting – especially when you have big dreams – and that’s why we’ve created this process.

This “Science of Creating Dreams.”

Our goal (read also as our DREAM) at Healthy Wealthy nWise is to help you make your dreams a reality to help you become that person that you know in the deepest part of your soul that you can become – the one that lives in those dreams.

You know the one. The one that you secretly long to be but the thought leaves you more than slightly terrified with butterflies in the pit of your stomach and that little know-it-all voice in the back of your head pipes up and says, “Who are you kidding? Who do you think you are anyway? Why don’t you come back to the ‘real’ world now?”

So for the next 20 minutes you’ve got a very important assignment that’s going to be the #1 most important thing you can do to create those dreams…

Want to know what it is….

Are you ready?

OK.

Step 1 – Go get a roll of duct tape. (If you don’t have a roll of duct tape I want you to put it on the shopping list right now because it’s important.)

Now do you have the duct tape?

I’m serious about this…

OK, so you’ve got it.

Now go into a room where you won’t be disturbed for at least 20 minutes (if you’ve got small children at home wait until they’ve gone to bed – you need peace and quiet to do this.)

Now we’re ready.

I want you to tear a piece off of that roll of duct tape and stick it over the mouth of that little voice in your head. (Putting the tape in your hair may not be the best of ideas, but put it somewhere that you’ll see it for the rest of this exercise. So whenever that little voice tries to open its mouth you look at that tape and tell it sorry, I can’t hear you. You’ve got to get it to shut up for the rest of this exercise!)

All right, all right, I know this sounds pretty ridiculous, but believe me creating dreams means doing things a little out of the ordinary. It means getting out of our comfort zones for a few minutes and being willing to do something the rest of the world might think is just a little bit weird.

Don’t worry, remember you’re in here by yourself, nobody’s going to disturb you, and even though I’m here I can’t see you .

OK, we’ve got the little bratty voice tied up, now we can get started.

I want you to sit quietly and take a few deep breaths and clear your mind.

When the mind chatter has started to drift away, ask yourself this question.

What dream do I want to create first?

Just sit there and let it percolate until you have one clear answer.

It can be anything from losing 15 pounds to look great for your reunion, to bringing about world peace, or anything in between. It doesn’t matter what the dream, the steps to manifest it – to make it real – are the same.

Ok, so you’ve got the dream firmly in your mind?

You’re sure this is the one you want to work on?

All right. We’re going to start the process today and work on it step-by-step in our next 6 emails. You’ll get one each week for the next 6 weeks.

When we’re finished you’ll know exactly what you need to do to make your dream a reality.

Are you ready to get started?

GREAT!

The Science of Creating your Dreams really begins with “c”ing your dream.

Creating the “vision” of your dream.

What’s the vision and why is it important?

You’ve heard the old sayings:

Seeing is believing.
What you see is what you get.
If you can see it you can achieve it.

Well the opposite is true too. If you can’t see it in your mind’s eye you can’t believe it, you won’t get it, and you certainly can’t achieve it.

This concept of vision and creating a vision is as old as man and has been spoken about throughout the ages.

Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision… --Florence Scovel Shinn

Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen. --Robert Heinlein

Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made the difference between a nobleman's sink and a brilliant sculpture. --Bob Kall

The idea is to seek a vision that gives you purpose in life and then to implement that vision. The vision by itself is one half, one part, of a process. It implies the necessity of living that vision, otherwise the vision will sink back into itself. --Lewis P. Johnson

If you can't see it, before you see it, you'll never see it. --Dr. Jack Graham

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but has no vision. --Helen Keller

To come to be you must have a vision of Being, a Dream, a Purpose, a Principle. You will become what your vision is. --Peter Nivio Zarlenga

I read the following story and it really struck a chord with me. It tells us why it is that dreams and vision are so important.

What does it say to you?

DREAMS
by: Bill Greer, Chicken Soup for the Veteran's Soul

When we were young, we had dreams and expectations. We imagine things, we keep thinking about what we want to be, what we want to do, what makes us proud and happy and what will we become.

We grew up, and things seemed like having its own way. We accept our success or failures and we move on. The rapid change, the need to do the urgent things, the works, the pressures and the failures, all kill part of our visions.

Things have changed, but they cannot really take away the dreams. We still have to dream on, to visualize our desires, our wants, our vision of our future, even when we are considered too old for such things.

Cornel Sanders started his business when he was sixty, and started the whole successful KFC business. The main thing is not the age - whether being too old, or too young, but it is the desire to dream on, and the courage to realize it.

Vivid visualization, taking it to sleep, thinking constantly about it, talking about it, planning it, adding all the spices to our dreams will make us a bit closer to the realization of our dreams.

Entrepreneurship starts with a dream, a simple wish of tiny restaurant operation, or a huge business of real-estate development, or a modest training center for English education, or just any other self-employed money earning fun.

The ability to dream on is one of the fine quality of human race that other species do not possess. So dream on, and put a deadline: make it a giant dream, a tiny one, an old everlasting one, a newfound one, a hobby related one, a change of life one, a religious one, a stupid one, a stroke-of-genius one, or just whatever...... just continue to dream on........ Then, Just Go and Do It!

When we shut the doubting voice up, and we dare to dream…

When we clearly catch the vision of that dream…

We absolutely must begin to create it. Its how we’re wired as human beings.

Its natural, its part of the science of how we are created.

It is human nature, plain and simple, to create visions of our dreams and then to make them real.

The only reason we may do otherwise is because we’ve been conditioned by our society, by the people who love us and want to protect us, by a zillion outside influences, and by our own ignorance as to what we can really do.

Let’s throw all the restraints aside and begin the exploration process for your dream.

Grab a piece of paper and a pen. Sit down and close your eyes again.

We’re creating the vision – the picture – of your dream.

Take yourself into the dream and become an active participant in it.

Look around.

What do you see? What does your dream look like?

What does it feel like, smell and taste like?

What you hear there?

Who is with you?

What are you doing?

Where are you?

When is it – what time of day or year is it?

Create a detailed picture of the entire experience either with words or actual images. If you’re not used to doing this kind of thing don’t worry.

You can’t get it wrong, you can’t make a mistake, you can only begin to see, and if the image is not clear, or if you can’t answer all of the questions, don’t worry. Write what you can for now, and keep going back to your dream over the next few days to clarify and crystallize the vision, and make this picture of it as real as possible.

Keep refining, and next time we’ll explore the one thing, that if you don’t have it clear in your mind, will absolutely derail all possibility of your dream becoming a reality.

Curious?

I would hope so.

Our next concept is absolutely vital to the creation of your dream you can’t skip it, and believe me you don’t want to.

But right now you need to get that vision clear, because without it the next exploration and all the rest of the work we do in this series won’t do you one bit of good.

You have to have the vision to start with.

Until then, C your Dream and have a FANTASTIC day!
