Oct 1 - Dreams

Prompt: "My work is the embodiment of dreams in one form or another." William Morris

Or nightmares… I guess you could argue that they are still dreams.

My work does not, in any way, shape, or form, embody my ‘nice’ dreams. I like my job. I’m good at what I do. But it is not a dream. It is a means to an end – the end being a roof over my head and food in my kids' bellies. My dreams are very separate to my job. Although, when I’m stressed it does pop up in my sleeping thoughts/subconscious.

I would love to be an author – to create – but that’s because I love to write. But would it still be my dream if I had to do it? Would the fun if there were deadlines and publishing contracts? Most of my crazy plots come from my dreams/daydreams, so perhaps it’s a circular statement.
