The Winter Fog, Part II

A dream can often be described as the expression of a suppressed desire. Perhaps this is a mechanism to emulate a particular desire so that the desire no longer lingers. Sometimes this expression becomes a nuisance, especially to those who vividly remember their dreams. Remembering the dream, which was a fulfilment of a desire, simply adds fuel to a burning fire. The desire lingers as the person recollects events of an imaginary world leaving a lasting impression of what could have been.

This adds further to the attachment and the longing for an actual fulfilment of the desire. This can be a problem as strong attachment to anything can be poisonous. This is especially true in the instance where the desire is towards something that you do not have control over. Consequently, you are left waiting for something to happen: waiting for the control to change the situation comes to you. Till then, all that is left is the dream. Somehow, you want this fog over your rationale to pass. The winter cold continues to keep you huddled in a corner, wishing for the sun to bring some warmth and resolution.
