Is it dangerous to be a dreamer in today's world?

It's okay to have dreams it's free LOL. Dreams can serve as an inspiration to reach ones goal and be successful in life. Anybody who dream should make extra effort to make that dream become reality. Nothing is impossible in this world you just have to believe in yourself that you can make it! This happened to -- it all started with a dream now i am a fulfilled woman and make all my dreams come true. I really worked out for it with God's blessings!

there's nothing wrong for a person to have dreams. it gives one something to hold on to when things get rough. something to look forward to when everything seems going wrong. dreams give a person... HOPE. we just have to face and accept reality and not be bitter with life's disappointments. life has its good turns and there would be bad ones too. if believing that there is good in every person, then i am a dreamer too. but my feet are on the ground because i live in reality. we don't just dream. we do something about our dreams to make them real. dreaming for a better future should not remain a dream. it should be something we continously work on... to inspire us to one day achieve it.

I think it is valuable for a person to have dreams. There is a saying that "where there is a will there is a way". I dreamed about traveling when I was a child. I made sure that dream came true. Even when I was doing a paper round I saved up to travel to Greece. I dreamed about buying a home to live in. I realized that dream too. I dreamed about having my own children and I have three of them. I would love it if my children could be dreamers and achieve some or all of their dreams. In relationships there might well be some Prince Charming like men out there for some lucky ladies. A 40 year old man watching the news will hear reality and a child of 7 years old reading a fairy tale will be developing her imagination.

Having hopes and dreams are very central to todays world. The dreams that you were brought up with are rather unrealistic for today's time. Often, you will face many hardships and the world around you will never be in peace. If I had kids I wouldn't want to bring them up with airy fairy views and expectations of life but rather having a firm and set goal that they want to achieve. To find their purpose in life and live it. That, I believe is much more important.

I don't think so.Every one shoud dream a dream for relaxing the busy life.Dream sometime give us happy and imaging.

no man its not dangerous its most dangerous to be a dreamer in todays world. if you don't work hard you will be ignore by other. its not a generation to be a dreamer its a generation to do work first and then watch dream is i will reach there or not?

Hi silver, No it isn't dangerous or bad to be a dreamer, sometimes dreams do come true, but you have to help them along. I have never stopped my children from dreaming, it does give hope and a more positive outlook on facing the hard reality of the world,but not to dream and hope you can become a very hard and bitter person...LoLo

I think it's dangerous NOT to dream in today's world. If the world, collectively, believed in the worst possible outcomes, then that would be all there was. I taught my son to dream and believe and have no regrets in that department. He has managed to work hard and turn his dreams into reality for himself. I would rather believe the best in people and situations and be wrong, than to believe in negativity and be right.

Hello silvercoin. Your discussion is very interesting for me and I have not thought of that for a while because of so many things in my mind. Children are children and I think it is okay to let them read and enjoy the pictures as well as moral lessons of fairy tale stories. They are still children and it is our duty as adults to develop the foundation of their character and morality. It is our responsibility to guide them and let them know that this world is still a beautiful and safe place to live in though in reality it may seem no more. It is their right to have a healthy and secure environment therefore it would not be advisable to expose them about reality. It will inculcate fear, terror and pessimism in them and that is agains the law on Child Protection. I am not yet a parent. But I let my nephews and nieces to read and watch fairy tale stories because I want them to enjoy their childhood. And that doesn't mean that I teach them to believe in these fairy tales but to take only the moral values in the stories. For me, this world is not as bad as it may seem.There are bad things but there are also good. And I am determined to live my life to make it a better place to live in even to a few persons only. That makes a difference.

In today's world, I may say, it's not that dangerous to be a dreamer for as long as you keep your contact with reality. Dreams is where we escape when we're feeling low and down but let it remain as an escape not the actual reality. It is very important to know how to accept reality even if it bites. Accepting reality will make you a tougher person. It's like hoping for the best but expecting the worst in all scenarios. Also, learning to face reality makes you a more strategical person. Why? Because if you'd accept the fact that not everything will go your way, you'd be able to plan ahead of time, expecting anything can happen and always has a back up plan.

It might be a good thing to be a dreamer, but link dream and reality will the better

Yeah, I think it's important to realize life is not a dream, totally different. I don't know really how to take it with kids to not hurt them but I don't think they should live in dreams. Having dreams and being a dreamer are different things. Everyone has dreams and they're essential. But for a dreamer, dreams are the only things he has. Dreams fall, then he falls too. I definitely think we need to stay grounded and accept/realize how things are in reality.

It is never bad to be a dreamer in life. As long as dreams do not get in the way of reality, there should be minimal danger as long as a person uses caution and commonsense. The world is a more violent place now then it was when I was growing up. It is good to dream, but let someone earn your trust first before your emotions make you vulnerable.

I think that if you want to do someting or make progress first step is to have a dream. You should know what you want to get or where you want to go. Have a dream then try your best to make it come true. Of course, if you only dream rather than do, your dream will be dream forever no matter how sweet it it. So dream it and make it.

I think it is more dangerous if we don't dream. Our dreams spur us on further surely. Without them we become bitter. Iknow that things seem harder as we grown older but if we do not dream about something then we would have no goals and gradually stop living. Dreams are what make us thrive, Don't ever give up dreaming Silver!

Throughout history, there have been many references to the importance of having dreams. Dreaming big can help you to strive harder to reach your goals. One of my favorite phrases is: "If you dream it you can achieve it. If you live it, you can become it." Can't remember where I heard that the first time but it was several years ago and has stuck with me all this time. Another is: "Without dreams, one ceases to exist." I'm a firm believer in having dreams. Big or small it doesn't really matter to me. If my child dreams of becoming an astronaut, I'll do everything I can to help them achieve that dream. It would be the same if they wanted to be a carpenter, a postal worker, teacher....anything as long as they were happy. On the other side, it's extremely important to accept reality. Sometimes you have no choice. However, there have been so many people that have defied the odds. I heard about a baseball player who lost one of his arms in an accident. His dream of becoming a major league player had ended because of that, BUT, he managed to have a respectable career in the minor leagues. I think it's more that we have to accept our shortcomings but that doesn't mean we need to quit dreaming. No danger in dreaming at all!

I don't think there is any problem in dreaming or if you have dreams. In fact it's said that a person with big dreams will climb greater heights in life. Happy Lotting

There ARE good people in the world, I have no doubt of that. I also believe that dreams are important for us to have. What we cannot do is blame life for getting in the way of what we want. When the rake of reality slaps you in the face, it is up to you to push that rake aside and find another way. Sure, sometimes life can get difficult and we face challenges that we would rather not face, but it is still okay to dream of a brighter future, a perfect partner, and so on. There is one thing I have learned that I truly believe in - Your life will not change unless YOU change. In other words, don't let life bog you down, stand up and do something about it. That's what I think anyway.

Yes, I can't agree with you amymore. Dreams and reality are different parts of our life. Some dreams can help us improve ourselves to a higher level. But if we spend much time on dreaming a better life, a perfect love, a prosperous future, we may have to face faliures sooner or later. Yes, there are big gaps between reality and dreams. If we don't put the dreams into reality, it is a waste of time completely. A life full of perfect dreams is dangerous if one never pay attention to make it come true.
