How an Ideal Single Mother Encourages a Child to Enjoy both the Good and the Bad Dreams Equally for Betterment and the Clarity of Mind-IX

I tell my mum about what I have discussed with my child friend in the evening today. She is very pleased. She asks me to write down the main points that my child friend and I have discussed in my logbook of scouting.


I write down it in the pages of helping others as

Helping Others to Enjoy Dreams


I write about those who I enjoy good dream, but not the bad dreams. Our conversation, we have discussed it. I discuss it my mum and she always helps me to improve. She says that for a discussion point of view, we take one of the most important points in our logbook.


She advises me that she would ask me and I will have to answer it as if I ask it and get a reply from the child friend.


She brings a tape recorder.

“It is simple we do it while we are awake, not in sleep. This is the condition, is not it?” he says.


“You are a funny person,” I say.


“I am not a funny person; I am your child friend. I am getting late for my dinner. OK, see you tomorrow, Happy Peace Night!” he says.


“All right, see you, Happy Peace Night!” I reply.


I enjoy the way he walks talks and explains in the same way as my mother does.


When he leaves the garden, he seems to feel as if he has added beauty to child friendliness.


I can observe it when I meet him every next evening. I leave, while thinking and offering my thanksgiving for the dreams as a gift from Mother Nature.

“You see when we learn from our dreams and tackle problems. It helps to solve problems properly and we also have better dreams, is not it?” he says.


“You know, you have many good ideas. I understand it, but some children just ignore it, what about those?” I ask.


“You know, granny says that we do not need to ignore it. We just need to share it as if we share other things. Is not it?” he says.


“Do you mean that the dreams can be shared and we can understand it? All right, it is a good idea,” I say.


“Well, you see we can do it only in one condition,” he says.


“Which condition do we need for it? Can you tell me, please?” I ask.


“Well, I will tell you tomorrow,” he says.


“No, tell me right now,” I ask.

“Please, do not frighten me. I am learning to look at the city from the top of the buildings. You know, mum says it is easy, I will learn. When I can feel easy, then I will say it is easy. Anyway, can you tell me how can we enjoy our dreams while we are in sleep?” I ask.


“We can learn to enjoy,” he says.


“I wonder, can you tell me, how we can learn it?” I ask.


“You see you are learning it from the top of the buildings, is not it. We can learn it if we discuss our dreams with elders and they guide what these dreams convey. If bad dream comes, we can think and analyze it. If we do so the next time we will be lesser afraid in the similar dreams. From our dreams, we slowly learn how to tackle it. Is not it?” he replies.


“Yaw, we can learn as you say. Well, how can we learn to tackle our dreams?” I ask.

“Yaw, I can give you another example, you know, the dreams are our special gift. We have it as if we see a funny or horror movie, but we may enjoy both. Is not it?” he says.


“Yaw, we enjoy both, you know we you laugh, when we slip in a playground and fall down. It is like enjoying a bad dream. What else granny says about the dreams?” I ask.


“You know, she says that we just have to take all of our dreams as a movie that Mother Nature shows us when we sleep, we can enjoy both good and bad dreams this way, is not it?” he replies.


“Hey! You see your granny is brainy. She is right; we can enjoy it like a movie. Do you know how the dreams help us learning about our self?” I ask.


“Well, it helps in a great way. It is wonderful teaching by our mind. She says that the dreams help us to learn and understand how we really feel. Sometimes we have a dream and see that we are standing at the top of a big building. We may be afraid or enjoy it, is not it?” he says.

“It is easy, I have learned from my granny that we just need to practice to solve riddles, puzzles and other problems everyday. It is a good help for our mind, is not it?” he says.


“Well, I understand it. Can you explain it more, please?” I ask.


“Yaw, I explain, you know, my granny says that it helps our brain to practice to solve problems. Then we can analyze and enjoy both of our good and bad dreams. Is not it?” he replies.


“Hurray! You have made it simple. I can do it better now. Well, it seems right. I want to hear an example. Can you tell me one?” I ask.


“OK. You see my granny always gives the example of a plant with flowers. She says that we see a plant with thorns and flowers on it. We like the whole of the plant. The flowers are like good dreams and the thorns are like the bad dreams, but after all both are the dreams. Our body, mind, heart and soul together create the dreams, like the flowers and thorns grow on the plant grows, is not it?” he says.


“This is a good example. Can you give me any other example, please; I will share it with my child friends?” I ask.

“Wow, you are brave. Some children scream, if they have bad dream. Is not it?” I ask.


“You are right, I accept that we need not be afraid of our bad dreams, but then how can we learn,” he asks. “Well, Is not it a difficult task to learn from bad dreams?” I ask.


“Not exactly, my granny says that in a bad dream, our mind works to solve a difficult question, is not it?” he says.


“It is right, I agree that in the bad dreams our mind wants us to solve something difficult. How can we learn and enjoy such dreams, can you explain it to me, please?” I ask.


“You see it is simple. My granny says that we can solve it easily, we just help our mind by giving proper answers to what puzzles us and try to know why this happens, Is not it?” he says.


“Hey! You know, like to solve puzzles. I want to learn more about it. Can you tell me how can we help our mind to solve such puzzles?” I ask.

“Yaw, I want to know because some of my child friends cannot enjoy all the dreams, will you tell me what granny says about it?” I ask.


“Well, granny says that we cannot learn from the dreams when our body is resting in sleep. She says that we usually feel and say that the dreams we have had are either good or bad. Is not it?” he says.


“Yaw, you are right, we feel happy to have a good dream and tell it to others. If we have had a bad dream, we feel sad. If we keep feeling that the dreams are good or bad, then how can we learn and enjoy?” I ask.


“Well, we have to make an effort to learn from our dreams. If we do not learn, it is not a good thing as we miss something in our total learning. We do not need to be afraid of bad dreams. Is not it?” he replies.

Next evening, we meet in the peace garden. He tells me that he discusses with his granny about our daily talks and discussions.


He knows that I share it with my mum. We always bring new thoughts and ideas.


His granny enjoys discussing what I ask him. Today he comes in a happy mood. We wish each other and he tells that he has finished his homework before coming to the garden.

As usual, I ask him,


“My child friend, you know some children enjoy good dreams. They cannot enjoy the bad dreams. They try to forget the bad dreams. What do you feel about it?” I ask.


“You know what I feel; I just put my thought bulb on. You see if we try to forget bad dreams, we cannot forget it. Can we forget?” he asks.


“Well, you are right, we can try to forget, but it is not possible. I like your answer, but if we can enjoy good dreams, how can we enjoy the bad ones, will you tell me, please?” I ask.


“Hey! I know you want to discuss how we can always enjoy our dreams, is not it?” he asks.
