The Power of Dreams

"Mimpi memang sebuah rekayasa abstrak, tapi mampu membuat hayat bereaksi seperti merasakan realita. Mekar menjadi bunga jiwa ketika kesadaran menguap bersama alunan nafas dalam dekapan angan yang terlelap. Mimpi adalah petualangan jiwa melintasi kekurangan raga, menyeruak diantara bayang-bayang keterbatasan fana, dan melambung tinggi mengarungi semesta imaji. Sebuah kekuatan yang memberi semangat untuk bisa mewujudkan rasa dan asa. Ia juga bisa menjadi penghiburan ketika jarak dan kerinduan tak lagi terkata. Mimpi hanyalah hampa ketika berlalu tanpa doa. Bisa juga menjadi bumerang ketika ikhtiar terlaksana tanpa usaha. Tapi mimpi adalah realita ketika ia bermakna seperti untaian bening cita-cita. Bermimpilah, maka hidupmu akan bahagia...
The Power of dreams will show you miracles of life"




A Dream published 1837. Edgar Allan Poe*

  In visions of the dark night
    I have dreamed of joy departed--
  But a waking dream of life and light
    Hath left me broken-hearted.

  Ah! what is not a dream by day
    To him whose eyes are cast
  On things around him with a ray
    Turned back upon the past?
  That holy dream--that holy dream,
    While all the world were chiding,
  Hath cheered me as a lovely beam,
    A lonely spirit guiding.
  What though that light, thro' storm and night,
    So trembled from afar--
  What could there be more purely bright
    In Truth's day star?
 
 Dream Within A Dream published 1849. Edgar Allan Poe*
Take this kiss upon the brow!
  And, in parting from you now,
  Thus much let me avow--
  You are not wrong, who deem
  That my days have been a dream:
  Yet if hope has flown away
  In a night, or in a day,
  In a vision or in none,
  Is it therefore the less _gone_?
  _All_ that we see or seem
  Is but a dream within a dream.  I stand amid the roar
  Of a surf-tormented shore,
  And I hold within my hand
  Grains of the golden sand--
  How few! yet how they creep
  Through my fingers to the deep
  While I weep--while I weep!
  O God! can I not grasp
  Them with a tighter clasp?
  O God! can I not save
  _One_ from the pitiless wave?
  Is _all_ that we see or seem
  But a dream within a dream?
