Last light, during one of those pivotal, action oriented dream state moments, I became completely aware that I could control my dream. In my moment of awareness, everything paused, waiting for my direction. Instead of directing, I was frozen in a state of awe by the realization that I could do anything. After a brief delay, my dream characters literally stopped performing and walked off the stage as if the director of the play shouted “CUT!”

I was amazed that with the freedom to do anything, I did nothing. The saying “You can do anything you put your mind to”, and the question “What would you do if you could do anything?” are quite frankly, things I’ve mostly interpreted as motivational rather than practical.

Is it really possible to do and be anything we want? Or, will our invisible limits be exposed when placed in a situation to choose anything? It just might be that if we pause too long when the moment to do anything arrives, we may miss out on making our dreams come true.
