Desire — my dreams or our dreams

There are dreams that I dream for myself. And dreams I dream for all of us.

There are dreams we dream for ourselves. And dreams we dream for all of us.

Then there are dreams we dream together. Those are almost always dreams for all of us.

Often, we talk about following our dreams. Which are almost always a solitary pursuit.

This often wreaks havoc on couples, families, or friendships. Because, again, solo dreams tend to be a solitary pursuit.

Community dreams are a bit more difficult, though. We have to decide, coordinate, and do things together. They take much more planning. But we can also do way more.

Community dreaming ensures a better chance of making all of our dreams come true.
