Out of the five poems that we read by Richard Hugo I liked the "In Your Wild Dream". I liked this poem because it reminded me of my dreams. I think we all have these types of dreams where you are doing something and then all of the sudden the plot changes or there are people there that don't make sense. In Your Wild Dream reads, "You are riding a camel in Athens... The camel is a yacht. You cruise a weird purple river. Girls doze on the bank. One stands up and waves. You yell, "Where is the town?" You are alone..." This makes me laugh every time I read it, it resonates with me because some times my dreams jump around like it did here!
To be honest, I don't have very many dreams, I like to think about the future and what it might bring but I don't have any out of the norm/eccentric dreams. My dream (which is already a goal of mine) is to pass schooling and become a dental hygienist. I am really excited for the day that I can have a job that I will love going to everyday! Another dream that goes along with a dream job is to have a dream family; I dream that my future family will be healthy and able to spend lots of time together.
When thinking about dreams for the country all that came to mind were political thoughts, but I was able to think of a fun dream (and probably an eccentric one as well!). I dream that one day in my life the Reds will be able to win the world series! I have followed the Reds for the majority of my life and I think it would be very cool to get to experience the atmosphere in Cincinnati if the Reds ever made it to the world series again! It would be even more of a fairy tale if they won!
I totally agree with you that I also don't have very many dreams. I really had to think and see what I wanted for the future. A dream of having a healthy family is a very good one and that is something everybody should strive for. I am also a Reds fan and can't wait till the day comes where I can see them win the world series.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, a dream job and a dream family is what all of us strive for. I think we'll only get the best result out it only if we love what we do like you said. Many people are not passionate enough for the jobs or family they have. While some are sad because they don't have neither of them. I think if we truly love something and do it wholeheartedly then it's easier to achieve our dreams.
ReplyDeleteYour dream is a really good goal. With the right steps you'll have your dream job and your dream family.
