The term dream is understood to mean, in the true sense of the word, a mental and sequence occurring during sleep of images, experiences and ideas that represent real experienced situations or are freely imagined. Dreams are produced by the central nervous system and are important for a person's mental balance.

But as dreams are also still unfulfilled wishes that a person longs for fulfillment. For example, a life's dream is a wish that someone absolutely wants to have fulfilled as a climax in the course of his or her life.

Dreams fulfill an important task: while our body recovers in sleep, our brain is primarily occupied with it, to spread moving, emotional experiences. This is essential to create a mental balance.

Of course, every person has different dreams in life - but for their realization usually work quite very similar approaches.

Be aware of what will happen if you never fulfill your dream. Train your will, be courageous, consistent and patient - and internalize that small setbacks can always occur on the way to your dream, but they will not deter you from your goal.
