“Build it, he will come.” That’s what the voice in the cornfield told Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to do. So he did. Eventually, after some hardships, almost losing his farm, being treated like a crazy man by his friends and neighbors, being ostracized and ridiculed by members of his family, it paid off.
The voice in the cornfield is a metaphor for the voice in our head. The one we hear daily, awake and asleep. The question, the choice, is always whether to listen to it or not.
There is a connection between the power of the mind and the power to create what happens in our life. That process is called manifesting, or bringing ideas and desires into physical form. Manifesting our dreams is the next step we take after identifying our dreams. Everyone possesses the ability to manifest their dreams.
Dreams are important for helping us to find solutions to our daily problems. They help us to see things from different perspectives. To find new realities to consider. To create, problem solve, fantasize, travel – whatever we want. It’s all possible. Ultimately, dreams are our link with our creative selves.
The dream world is a fertile playground. In it we are able to create anything, even things that may seem unreal and impossible in the physical world. We can see and talk to people who are dead. We can visit places that we have never been, both real and unreal. We can fly, run like the wind, breathe underwater, travel among the stars (without vehicles!). Anything. Anything is possible in dreams. We accept this dream-state suspension of reality as surely as we accept physical reality itself.
It is only in our waking state, that we limit ourselves by the non-acceptance of the unbelievable. Our limitations are creations of our conscious, awake mind. And, to often, we cling to these limitations as the only possibilities in our universe. Perhaps, like Ray, we fear the insinuations and accusations of insanity from friends and loved ones.
Listen to yourself. Follow your gut. Dreams come from a place that we wish to be, urging us to move forward. To manifest that dream into reality.
Imagination is key to manifesting dreams. It allows us to experience something before we actually have it. All great adventures start with dreams. And, any dreamer will tell you that the journey is worth it despite the mountains to climb and the bumps in the road.
Dreams are where the creative process begins. Dream manifestation is where the dream becomes the reality.
Gotta go. I have a baseball field to build.
