It is a paradox, but it is the only thing anyone can do.  You can try to live someone else´s dreams or lives, but in doing so, you make them "yours".

An ongoing teaching through the media and society in general that you should do what you want and what makes you feel good. This flies in the face of biblical wisdom (God's wisdom) which correctly teaches do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Another words put others first before yourself. Now on the surface this sounds risky and against our nature but just imagine a world where everyone helped everyone else out and before you even asked there was someone there to help you in your time of need.. See the problem with do as you want and for yourself is when the hard times come everyone else is too concerned about themselves to help you out and you’re on your own. Guess God is wisest after all lol.

Well, most people think they are born to do something and succeed and help mankind somehow. Its not like majority of people start off young thinking I am going to be a nobody. It would be great if you could reach the goal you have set for yourself though. I am a little confused with the line you have..."but I feel that I was born once". If thats what you think you were called to do though, then go after it. It is never too late to live your dream.

Life is about learning to know your heart, who you really are. To do that means to be stretched beyond your vision of yourself and to find the center of life outside you.\n"It's not all about you."

I always find dreams really interesting.  In my dreams are events and scenarios that I could never think of on my own.  I kind of like the lack of logic in dreams. So, dreams interest me a lot, too.  I always pick up any article or whatever that I see about dreams.  From what I've read, dreams are your subconscious trying to work out your problems, and in extreme cases they help people move on from tragedies, because it helps them deal.  That's cool that you're conscious in your dreams.  That never happens to me but I do know people that could relate to you that way.  You can probably learn a lot from yourself by controlling your dreams

Follow your dreams...because what would make you happier? your parents dreams or your own. No one can take away what you don't give to them. So don't give them your dreams, if there everything you want.

People say those things to encourage people.  If we didn't have encouragement we wouldn't always strive for things we wanted.  We must also balance this encouragement with some reality.

The only person who is going to meet your needs is YOU, so why shouldn't you be running the whole show...which I assume means running your own life?

Concentrate on this: There are some things in our life that we want them to happen. For eg. one may wish to be married to a person of his choice. So what we want to happen with us is something which is always there in our sub-conscious mind. And since we have no control over the inactive part of our brain (almost 90%) we see our wishes in our dreams.\n\nOtherwise, dreams may also be te fears or fancies in our sub-conscious mind. eg. the fear of ghosts etc. \n\nIn no way they are related to our future. But yes, if you convert your dreams to reality, they better are.

our minds go over what we have done throughout our day and thats your dream.  i think.

i think that it means that great minds actually fulfill their dreams, wishes, etc. But other people only wish, they do not have the willpower or the ability to do what they want to.\n\nThis is just a guess.

The explanation is simple; we are instructed to have our own personal ethics. You see we are told to make a decision or “judgment” about the things we will be a part of in this life. We are told this so that we will have firm convictions and not get caught up in trends fads and cultural customs. Buy setting those convictions on the same higher plain as the 10 commandments will raise the Christian above the lax standards of mans law. Essentially we will be above that type of reproach. We are then given the assurance that if we are doing as we are told and the heathen next to us is rising to power by nefarious means we should not hold a hard place in our hearts because the day will come when that judgment will be administered by the same ruler we have already lived in submission to. Meaning their demise comes later as we all watch. As for multi-tasking imagine the non believer as they try beating the fire out on their head while screaming, holding their eyes into their places as they melt and swimming in a lake of fire.  WOW right.
