When Dreams Die

Some people talk about dream death as though it's a natural thing.
I don't believe that.
For a dream to die, you need to kill it.
Quickly or slowly.
Intentionally, though maybe subconsciously sometimes.
Poison, stabbing, machine-gunning.
Usually you kill your own dreams before you even share them with someone.
Sometimes, though, you allow others to join in the ritual slaughter.
The good news is that dreams can live as long as you, and in many cases beyond you...when the dream is caught by another dreamer, and becomes a shared dream.
So take heart...EVERY dream you've ever had is still alive, unless you've killed it...even those from childhood!
