Dreaming and Planning
Prompt: Is dreaming the same as planning? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

---------

No, I don't think dreaming and planning are the same, but one might lead to another, and at times, the two may work together to come up with spectacular results. For example, I might dream to fly like a bird, even if I don't have wings. Still somebody else, way back when, must have dreamed that very dream of flying like a bird also, which did lead to the invention of hang-gliders and airplanes and such.

Dreaming is a spontaneous, often subconscious process characterized by the imagination running free. Dreams can be vivid, surreal, and deeply personal, reflecting our desires, fears, and subconscious thoughts. They may often serve as a playground for exploring possibilities. Dreaming comes from the realm of our psyches where logic takes a bow and leaves, as dreams can be far-out personal, surreal, and vivid.

On the other hand, planning is a deliberately conscious activity for achieving specific goals or objectives. It requires rational thinking, foresight, and problem-solving abilities. It is grounded in reality and hard work, plus resources and do-ability. It sets clear objectives, and then, comes up with necessary steps and strategies. It turns the abstract into action and achievement.

Luckily for us, when the result of dreaming and planning agree to work together, we have inventions, better conditions, and easier lives. Still, the two are very different from each other and they shouldn't be confused as being the same or as being equals.
