After my
experience with the Angels the night before, something crazy flashed through my
mind and it is kind of stuck in my subconscious. So I thought it would be wise
if I shared it with you guys….
So what if
everything that is happening right now is just a dream. What if in the “real
world” we are all asleep and this is not real?
I shared
this idea with a friend this morning and the response I got was that “No this can’t
be a dream… it is too long to be one”. True, but what if in the “real world”,
we are just 20mins into the sleep – it is not as long as we think it is.
What if our
lost ones are not really dead? What if we didn’t really fail that interview?
What if your business didn’t really crash? What if we weren’t really laid off
at work? What if Nigeria is not really that bad? What if we had better roads in
the “real world”? What if Steve Jobs is not really dead? What if you didn’t
really invest all your money in that stock that crashed? What if “Boko Haram” didn’t really happen? What if the Chibok
girls were not really kidnapped? What if Ebola is not even for real? What if
the Biafra war didn’t really happen? What if Ukraine is not really at war...?
OR
What if the
moments you shared with your loved ones and family were not real? What if you
are not really a billionaire? What if you don’t really have beautiful kids?
What if your PhD is not even for real? What if your Porsche is not real? What
if the Million dollar lottery you just won is not real…?
IF (big IF)
we are truly asleep and this is a dream, then I’d say this dream is full of ups
and downs. I’d also say I have faced so many challenges. I have also met crazy
people in this dream. I have fallen in love in this dream and had my heart
smashed into tiny bits couple of times. There have been good times and bad
times. I have learnt not to take this dream too seriously. I have also learnt
that no one can really be trusted in this dream………
We all have
different experiences in this dream – learnt a lot in this dream; we have also
dreamt dreams in this dream. We’ve all had good and bad times in this dream.
BUT
If this life
is just a dream and we have a choice to wake up into reality or continue living
this dream, which will you choose?
Will you
choose to continue living this dream or dare to wake up from it and see who you
really are?
