Dusting Off Dreams & Visions

Dreams and visions is a topic that comes up repeatedly here in Robbymac-world. I did some quick checking from the first few weeks after I started this blog, and discovered that even in this blog's infancy, the topic of dreams and the death of dreams was an early theme (Light the Fire Again and Blurred Vision). Unfortunately, Haloscan doesn't archive comments for very long, which is a shame because there were 40-50 insightful comments per post.

For the majority, the decision (at that time) was to explain away their former dreams as immature or wishful thinking. The pain that they'd gone through as their dreams died was too much to consider going through again.
