“ I like the night . Without the dark , we ’ d never see the stars .” said Stephanie Meyer , an American author . Dreams are the only gates which save us from being desperate , that ’ s the reason why human beings keep on dreaming through their lives . But what is a “ dream ”? Do people dream about the same things ?
Why do people dream ? If we search the answer to this question , we might understand the main reason . People dream to solve their problems . For instance , ancient people dreamed about keeping warm and then used fire . Christophe Columbus dreamed about exploring new places so he went to America . Behind every successful story , there is a dream . It doesn ’ t matter what kind of dream it is , dreams are the first steps to accomplish something or even change the world .
Since people live in different conditions and have different traits , dreams differ from person to person .
People ’ s dreams are frequently about their lives or current situations . For instance , while a teenager might dream about his / her future career , a grown up might dream about retirement . During COVID-19 pandemic , people started dreaming about “ simple ” things such as going out , meeting new people , travelling or just sitting in a café . Before the pandemic , these were a part of most people ’ s daily routines . Dreams are similar to liquids ; they never stay the same . As life changes , dreams are also affected .
In conclusion , dreams are tools people use to be free from their problems . Every single accomplishment first started with a dream . It doesn ’ t matter whether it is simple or not . A dreamer is capable of changing the whole world . A dream is your compass , when you are in the middle of a storm ; so keep on following your dreams .
