Day 5 of the Letter Writing Challenge

It says "my dreams" for this one. I'm not sure how to understand this. The dreams I dream while I sleep or the dreams I have for myself, my aspirations? I think I'll aim for #2.

Dear Dreams,

      I wish that you were more than dreams, more than faint, wispy images in my mind. The amazing things that have happened in my life were not things that I planned to the last detail. I met my husband and eventually I knew I wanted to marry him but I didn't know precisely or plan what would happen afterward. I wanted to study religion and then more specifically theology, but I didn't know what would happen next. This is what I mean when I say I wish my dreams were more concrete, more tangible, clearer. So far most of my dreams have come to pass and I'm very happy they did. But I sometimes wish my dreams were a bit more detailed, offered a bit more guidance. Because now that I'm married, own a home, have a baby, have a degree... I wonder...what's next? Where do I take these dreams? How do I add to them? I don't think anyone really stops dreaming. You are an integral part of what makes people, people. You are an integral part of what makes me, me. So thanks.

Missy
