The importance of dreaming together.

What Does it Mean to Dream?

I’m not referring to the dreams you have while sleeping. I’m referring the dreams that you share together as a couple. You could also call them aspirations, goals, plans, even desires.

These dreams are often shared with each other even before you get married. In many cases it’s what helps to “woo” each other as you realize you have many common goals.

After marriage, these dreams provide the glue that keeps you working together. They give you a purpose to your everyday activities. Where you live, your job, how you spend your free time, and so forth are all determined by these dreams.

You might start looking for ways to downsize your stuff to make the move easier. You might start looking for a job or other source of income in other country.

7 Key Ways to Dream Together

1. Become dream partners – take time to bounce ideas off of each other.
2. Make sure they line up with your common values – this will cement in your resolve to attain them.
3. Be supportive of each other’s dreams – no dream is too big or small, practical or absurd.
4. Go to an inspirational place – get outside, go to a park, or even some place with a vista.
5. Make your dream strong and vivid – it must engage you both at your core and get your emotions stirring.
6. Write them down – put them up in a visible place where you can see them every day.
7. Think about them daily – make sure your daily activities are in line with actually living your dream!

Imagine a white sandy beach, warm tropical breeze, reggae music, lights on strings, and an entire party of friends and family all dancing and relaxing together. 

Dreaming together as a couple (and family) is powerful. It’s important to note that this dreaming process only works when it’s carried out through daily action. To dream is the start. To live the dream is the payoff.
