Zig Ziglar once spoke about an experiment that was done to determine how important dreams are for us.

Scientists tested several volunteers in the following way. Each rested and fell asleep. Just as they were about to enter a state of dreaming, they were woken up. They were then allowed to return to sleep.

After one day of this experiment, the volunteers were irritable. After two days, they became depressed. After three days, some were in a state where they needed psychological attention. It was at this stage that the experiment was stopped due to concerns regarding the wealth fare of the participants.

The conclusion of this experiment was that we all need dreams when we are sleeping.

Zig Ziglar added that, more importantly, we need dreams when we are awake!

What are your dreams? How often do you think about them? How much do you work to achieving them.

People who have dreams and pursue them are much less likely to be depressed or upset with their lives. Take some time to redefine your goals and begin to work towards them.
