life actually

when you've finished watching a movie, do you let it slide or do you allow it to bring you into its world of fantasy and make-believe?

do you stop yourself from imagining how life would be, if...?
do you tell yourself to stop dreaming because it doesn't happen in the real world?

when you become a parent, will you tell you son/daughter to make 'realistic' dreams? dreams that are 'achievable'? what are dreams that are achievable...and what aren't? will you have to slowly shape their thoughts to where you think goals are reachable or do you believe that they will eventually realize they've woven for themselves shoes too big to fill?

when you lie in bed and your mind begins to whip up castles in cloud nine, is it only right to pull the strings back to reality? because in reality, you have responsibilities to hold...?

or maybe...just maybe...you should just dream big and throw caution to the wind...
