Dreams change. Why do they? I remember when I was back in college and I wanted so to be a wizard. I had thought that would have been just very cool. Lately, though, within the past few years, I have thought I would be better suited as a knight. It's the flash, I think, that I have outgrown — the fabulous fireworks of a wizard traded in for a sword and a cause. Or a quest.... People do change. Sometimes, though, it's hard to tell — you see a person every day and he is changing, and maybe the change is so gradual you don't notice. And you see yourself constantly — perhaps you notice least of yourself?
Dreams change because we change, then. The dreams I have now, how foolish will they seem when I am ten years the senior? Twenty? We look out from the same eyes, so it would seem, but do we? If I were to be transported into the me of ten years ago, would it be like visiting not myself, but a little sibling — would I be surprised at what I perceived, what I paid attention to, what was important to me? I think so. Recall your dreams, those of the past you: if you discover your dreams of now impossible, figure your future eyes just to glance at those desires and laugh, not give them a second thought.

My dreams have'nt changed completely- I still want to be successful in my chosen field but I'm not as driven as I used to be. Today I dream about the time when I no longer have episodes of being self-absorbed. I want to take notice of other people without trailing off into several different thoughts all at the same time and usually very negative. I don't know how exactly I come across but I would really like to be more lighthearted-not so affected or traumatized by my past. Somedays are much better than others. I had a hard time yesterday.

You have arrived at some degree of Wizardship already. I found your page after 18 years of living with schizophrenia and it is inspirational. How do you do it? I can hardly keep my mind still enough yet creative enough to write anything worth reading.

Once you have schizophrenia, do you always?

Your poetry is great. Dreams are a window your eyes don't see out of all the time, but when you look back at a dream only then do you see what ever you want out of it.
