Dream Wider! By Jane Offer
I once read a true story that was both amusing and thought-provoking. A young man enrolled in a ‘Manifest your Dreams’ Course, even though he was skeptical about the whole idea. He arrived at the class on time where the facilitator handed each student a sheet of paper and a pencil. “Write down your dreams”, she said, sat down and began to read a book. Bathed in cynicism, he wrote some tongue-in-cheek ideas that he believed were more fantasy than a dream. “…the facilitator looked up and said, “Dream wider” and returned to her book.” Fifteen minutes into the session, the facilitator looked up and said, “Dream wider” and returned to her book. He refocused in some surprise and began writing again. Every fifteen minutes she looked up from her book and repeated the instruction – Dream wider.

His ideals went from shallow to life changing, he began to imagine a life that would be both fulfilling and joyful.

He noticed that number three indicated his dream to be in a house with naked females! He was a little embarrassed by this, assuring himself that this was an absolutely impossibility and went home. He thought no more about it until day four. It was early morning and he was lying

“…a greater system is working to bring us what we really need when we need it…” There are a few insights we can take from this to recognise the magic in the manifestation of our dreams. Probably, the most obvious one is, that while we may have a vision
