Meaning of flying dream

One of the best dreams I've ever had were the flying ones. Here is a nice describtion of what I'm talking about: I dreamed that I could fly in the air, rose above the town below, and high into the night sky. It felt wonderful. I had no fear and could float gently down to earth whenever I wanted. (Charles N- New York) So I did the reaserch online and here is what I found. To dream of flying is usually a pleasant experience and is accompanied by a sense of exhilaration and freedom. It usually feels completely natural as if we have somehow always known how to do this. Flying may symbolise liberation from something that's been troubling you. Bill Conti- Gonna Fly Now.

The obstructions and shackles that have held you down have been released and you can now experience the same sense of freedom that we see in the birds that soar in the sky. The sky may symbolise consciousness and spirituality so to dream of flying can represent the expansion of your awareness and the unfolding of your higher self. Nevertheless, flying also has its perils. The ancient Greek myth of Icarus warns us not to fly too high. Your dream may show that you are being over ambitious. If you are flying with ease and enjoying the scene and landscape below, then it suggests that you are on top of a situation. You have risen above something. It may also mean that you have gained a different perspective on things.

Flying dreams and the ability to control your flight is representative of your own personal sense of power. If you are feeling fear when you are flying or that you feel that you are flying too high, then it suggests that you are afraid of challenges and of success. In reality, we do not have the ability to fly. Thus such dreams may represent that which is beyond our physical limitations. In your mind, you can be anybody and do anything. Another way of interpreting flying dreams is that these dreams symbolize your strong mind and will. You feel undefeatable and nobody can tell you what you cannot do and accomplish. Undoubtedly these dreams leave you a great sense of freedom.

Are you mature?

What does being mature means to me? In my opinion there are three levels of maturity. The first one is being physically mature. It comes with the age. You get older, you become mature. The second one is being mentally mature. You take responsiblities for your actions. You take responsibilities for whatever you say. The third one is being emotionally mature. You are emotionally stable and you're comitted to whatever your belives are. Menomena - E is stable

Peole say that experience is the best teacher. And I completely agree with that. But instead of learning from your own experience I think the key is to learn from the experience of others. Learning on your mistakes is wise but making the same mistake twice is a sign of being immature. People make mistakes, but only wise people learn from their mistakes. The sooner you relize that the sooner you'll become mentally mature. Okey so with that being said we gotta talk about being emotionally stable.

I belive that the first step is to have the abilty to love people. No matter what skin color the are or what kind of religious views they have, because at the end of the day we're not enemies but friends, right? If you found the purpose in life stay commited to it. When you say something, do it. Always listen to what other people have to say before you form your own conclusion, even if you don't agree with them. Be generous as much as you can, don't be selfish. Giving is much better than taking. And it brings undescribable joy.

The davos question

Did you know that every year, many of the world's top leaders and thinkers attend the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland) to discuss how to make the world a better place. I gotta admit, I really got into it. All those ideas are so interesting and I think that it's worth a serious look. So I'm gonna post here the most interesting ones. It's called TEDtalks and you can subscribe it to your favorite list on youtube. Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love.

TEDtalks: Pastor, philanthropist and author Rick Warren reflects on how the success of his book The Purpose-Driven Life triggered his own crisis of purpose. What should he do with this unanticipated wealth and attention? Warren uses his own story to explain the central tenet of his teaching: that the antidote to spiritual emptiness is recognizing what we have been given: wealth, creativity, talent and using those gifts to make the world a better place.

Sorry, but you are not entitled to your opinion

Type “I am entitled to my opinion” into a Google search and you will see that it is a standard riposte of the frustrated debater, on topics as diverse as politics, religion, music and football.The idea that everyone is entitled to his opinion is one of those truisms so often repeated that it now goes without saying. Like many truisms, however, it is false. The entitlement would be relevant only if it guaranteed the truth of your opinions. But it can’t do that, because it is an entitlement supposedly enjoyed by everybody. And people disagree. Jack and Jill are both entitled to their contradictory opinions about trade and poverty, but they can’t both be right. So insisting that you are entitled to your opinion cannot possibly give you any proper advantage in a debate. Especially since there is no such entitlement in the first place. We do not have a right to our own opinions. Stornoway - Zorbing.

The law gives us all a right to life. Your right to life means that everyone else has a duty not to kill you. This is not something that the Government may or may not decide to associate with your right to life; it is that right. A law that did not impose on others a duty not to kill you would thereby fail to establish your right to life. Does your right to life mean that others have a duty to feed you, to house you, to provide you with medical care? These are hotly debated questions, but no one doubts that the answers to these questions about others’ duties are what define and delimit the right to life.

Does your right to your opinion oblige me to agree with you? No, that would make the duty impossible to perform. For I too have a right to my opinion, which you must respect. If we disagree, I must change my opinion to yours, and you must change yours to mine. But then we disagree again, and must change our opinions again. And so on forever, never managing to do our impossible duty. It is just that on some topics, many people are not really interested in believing the truth. They might prefer it if their opinion turned out to be true — that would be the icing on the cake — but truth is not too important. And to register this, to make it clear that truth is neither here nor there, they declare: “I am entitled to my opinion.” Once you hear these words, you should realise that it is simple rudeness to persist with the matter. You may be interested in whether or not their opinion is true but take the hint, they aren’t. Source: Jamie Whyte
