Dreaming isn’t an impracticality—every invention started as a dream. It’s important to exercise the muscles of “What if” along with “How would that work?”
Otherwise, what’s the point of being creative? Pure reactivity is purely for machines.

Yes; after the inspiration there must be the perspiration, or – as you say – it’s only a “what if”. And that applies just as much to art as to science and technology.

So very true – even actually ‘dreaming’ when sleeping – like how Paul McCartney came up with the song ‘Yesterday’,

Well said! The human experience is much more fulfilling when we allow ourselves to dream and then step out from our comfort zone.

Dreams have inspired some of my writing. My first novel was written with a “what if” – what if you couldn’t distinguish the difference between dreams and reality?
I am an artist as well as an author and a poet. I received new supplies and kept telling myself I can’t use them, I don’t know how, but how do you learn?
Through action inspired by an idea. A friend challenged me to create a portrait. I told him I couldn’t draw people.
He simply asked, “Who said I have to be a person?” It was like the window of my mind fractured on hearing that.
Inspiration is incredible, and all around us, but we have to follow it with the action.
I’m not just a dreamer. I’m a doer too.

That’s the key! Dreams are meant to be enjoyed and acted upon.

miniaturise dreams, in their purest form you still complete! depends on whether you want to pass or not! alot of people refuse to achieve in fear of exchange! you have to be stronger than both sides! or central management to be safe!
