Dreams as Excuses

Do you remember how we used to write about dreams back in primary school, starting from a very unusual day and incidents to the very common sentence which ends the ridiculous piece of essay saying “it was just a dream”? We are allowed to use our imagination to go wild, we’re asked to impress the marker by bringing them into our world and we have no limitations at all unless we forget to note that it was merely a dream. Even in the dream itself, some may have control over their own actions, making themselves fly high for instance, knocking down each and every single monster in sight as they know it is a dream, where they can even edit it as they wish, bringing in more people who they’re familiar with to join the forces. Some of us see dream as a place where stress does not exist, some find it too good to be true at times, some take it as a task which is soon to be achieved and some, simply see dream as dream. Nevertheless, we use dream as an excuse to a certain degree at times, for we know it is merely a dream that we take no responsibility over what is happening in there in our minds, hence the little take over and make things happen in the dream the way we wanted it to be, in which we find it less likely to take place in reality. In short, we are the kings in our heads, in our dreams, where we do as we like and make decision as we please. Remembering the time when my teacher brought up the topic on dream, saying we should never alter the essay title given, as many have written it in the form of dream instead of logical real life situation. Why? It is simply easier to conclude the essay.
