According to Freud .... dreams are about wish-fulfillment.
I've been having some weird dreams lately ....
What did you dream about last night?

...in athletes, they focus to such an extent, that it is conjectured they have the power to shift time and space to their task. many great shamans can focus these intentions as well. i think dreams can be described as wish fulfillment in that they are the mind's struggle with the way things should be. thus the intention to be useful is limited to a particular act and not general to an aim.
as for dreams, sorry, haven't had any lately, that i remember.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Akamas, the sons of Cypriots and the sons of former Ottomans will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the north, sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by their Greek or Mongolian Ancestry but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of Makarios' Legacy shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."²
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the south with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all the Cypriot children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if Cyprus is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious Nicosia Plains.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Paphos Forest
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of Kyrenia
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Pentadactylos Mountain
Let freedom ring from Troodos Mountains.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all will be able to join hands and sing :
Free at last!
Free at last!
