Day 20 - a song that has many meanings to you

This is a bit of an obscure song, but I relate to it on so many levels, I couldn't not include it here.  'Dreamers' by Sarah Brightman, from the album 'The Songs That Got Away'.

When I was at school, I was often described as a 'dreamer' in my school reports as if it was a bad thing.  But every time I listen to this song, it makes me think, that yes, I'm a dreamer, and I'm bloody proud of the fact.  It makes me realise that I want castles and dragons and mountains to climb and I don't care what people think.  I'm proud of the fact that I have an imagination and that I'm a dreamer.  This song makes me realise that being a dreamer is not a bad thing, it's a wonderful thing.   Being a drone tied to reality is the sad, tragic thing to be.

And as the final line says, 'because to dreamers, the real world can be unreal...' Yes, I can relate to that too!

What do you hope to see in the next season?

More monster of the week episodes, brotherly moments, humour, shirtlessness (yes, it's me.  There has to be some shallowness, okay?)

Being a dreamer offers you a chance to aim high, maybe higher than you can reach, but it's not reaching the stars that's the crime, it's not having a star to reach for!

Shallow is as shallow does - SECONDED! ♥

Well said on the dreamers front, my dear. I not only agree, but I want to remind you and anybody else who might read this: Without dreams, we wouldn't have our stories, our imagination, the stories and art we create and enjoy watching/reading, and what a sad place the world would be without those healing, lovely creations!

I adore Sarah Brightman. She is one of my favorite female vocalists. Her voice is so beautiful and pure. I do love listening to her.

I had never heard this song before. What a lovely song. I had considered myself a dreamer as a youth. I would often escape into those dreams and think me in another world, living another life, just to get away from the loneliness and everything else I was going through. I heard my father once say that he was worried about me and how I escaped into these worlds so much that I would get the dreams mixed up in reality and confuse myself, or something like that. I never got them mixed up, my dreams were my escape, something he didn't really understand at all as he was always a very pragmatic type of person. My dreams were what kept me going much of the time. Sadly, life has beaten me down so much I don't find myself escaping at all into those dreams anymore. I wish I could find that young girl inside of me again with those dreams. That last statement is very true, the real world can be unreal to dreamers.
