It is a dangerous thing to bring a dream to life.... I have watched my deepest, dearest hopes take shape, and I am not entirely sure I like the shape they have taken.

About This Quote

The author, Doris Lessing, talks about the dangers that come with bringing your dreams to life. She is talking about the bad consequences that can come from sharing your dreams with others. If you share your dream with others and they try to make it a reality, it may not turn out as you had hoped. You may find that their ideas and plans don't fit with yours and you end up feeling hurt and frustrated.

When this happens, you must remember not to take out your hurt and frustration on those around you. Rather than let them know how much it hurts you that they don't want to share in your dream, you need to work harder at making your dream a reality. Once you do, then those around you will be happy for you and will celebrate with you as though they too have been a part of the dream.
