So I'm watching Fullmetal Alchemist (STFU I still like it), and I've made it to episode 17. Well in 16, there was one of those passing characters who was a war veteran and he said something interesting.
A dream to get everything back the way it was? But once you have it, what will you do with your life? The pleasure of a dream is that it's a fantasy. If it happens, it was never a dream.
It just . . . made me stop and think. The pleasure of a dream is that it's a fantasy. If it happens, it was never a dream. One of the synonyms for dream IS fantasy. But another synonym, albeit by a different definition of the word "dream" is "goal."

That quote just . . . kind of stopped me in my tracks. Hell, I even paused it. But it made me think. Does this mean a dream, as in the terms of a goal, isn't really a dream since it is within your plans in reality to make it more than just a dream? Or is something a dream only before you manage to make it happen? And if a goal is a dream until it is reached and becomes reality, what is it then? Is it still considered a dream or is it something else entirely at that point?
I tried to make a concrete line of thinking here that was easy to understand . . . and I failed miserably XD
Any thoughts? |
