How Big is Your World?

It's most likely a lot bigger than when we were born.

We're not talking the real world, but "Your world".

Remember back when you were a small child - your entire world was your
bedroom - the place where we all slept, played and had dreams of what
we wanted to become.

As we grew older, our world included our backyard and then being a
passenger in a car, and seeing things that we have never seen before.
And before long, our world included school and friends and then our
world...soon became the real world.

The real world can be intimidating to say the least, as some of the
past comforts and boundaries have all but disappeared, but with all the
choices and opportunities that are there for us...what are we going to
do with them?

Smell and Dreams?

Yes there is a correlation between the types of dreams we have, and
smell.

Studies were conducted where a rose scent was administered, and it resulted
in dreams that were "tinted" as pleasant, where as a sulfuric scent of
rotten eggs, resulted in dreams that were "colored" negatively.

The understanding was that smells and odors influenced dreams through
emotion, rather than through the direct incorporation of smells.

That is because smell and emotion are in the same part of the brain,
the limbic system and there is a link between this system and the
sleep centers of the brain.

So it may be wise to have some nice smelling items around our bed or bedroom
that will give us the pleasant dreams and sleep we all like to have.

There is only one color red...

But a world of different shades.

The same goes with the people in our lives - they may be limited in
number, and we see them as one "color", but what are the different
"shades" that make them up?

What are their dreams? What's their favorite movie or book and why? If
they could do or be anything...what would it be?

How can you better help them, and what can they do to better help you?

It all starts with you, to start to see all the "shades" of the ones
close to you...and in doing so, the ones closest to you...get even
closer.

Do you have a closet full...

Of broken dreams?

Well, we all do, so don't even think you are the only one.

Not all dreams come true...we just need to be thankful for the ones
that did. And for the ones that didn't...we can always bring them out,
dust them off and give them another shot, Right?

Having every dream come true is like sitting down at a slot machine,
and with every pull of the lever, you hit the jackpot - and what are
the odds of that?

So keep dreaming and even pull out some old ones that didn't have the
right timing...it's never too late.
