When you dream do you dream about things that actually have happen or will happen or are your dreams of things that are completely made up? I can honestly say I rarely remember my dreams. If I do, it is only for a limited time and the memory of the dream itself seems to vanish a short time later.

However, I sometime have day dreams, or more like thoughts, that pop into my head for a good story idea for a book. I still remember the day I was up in my bedroom making the bed when the idea for the fiction book I’m writing now came to me and I began writing about it that night. Never in a million did I think that would happen but God had different plans for me.

I think in life different things happen to us for different reasons. It would be a boring place if everyone liked to do the same thing. That old saying “variety is the spice of life” comes to mind.

Even in my marriage, while my husband and I have some core beliefs that are the same, we have so much that is different. His taste in movies often clashes with mine. However, we do come together on some. Our music styles are different, or I should say what we’d prefer to turn the radio to. I couldn’t imagine being married to someone just like me. I think we’d drive each other nuts. There’s a reason why people say opposites attract.

So the next time you dream, think about what you might learn from it. Is it something good or important, or was it just nonsense?
