Dreams...the randomness

Dreams- as we all realise generally reflect the most random of our thoughts. I am not under a very strong influence of Sigmund Freud, but i agree with the statement that dreams do allow us to express our forbidden thoughts in a disguised form, and it is a kind of safety valve mechanism.
We all have random dreams and sometimes some of us force ourselves to think what could have been the interpretation. I believe our dreams reflect something or the other that is stored in our sub conscious memory. Sometimes we see situations and people we are familiar with, and we can relate to, and sometimes a totally new world. These new things can be our fantasies or desires.
My dreams are often very symbolic! really! I decode them the way I want to.....and I never find them meaningless. Our thinking process is very random and variable, so are our dreams. If you give it some time trying to find a link between your dreams and your thoughts, you would understand yourself better. Its a way of our subconscious to remind us if we are forgetting something that we don't want to let go of.
My dreams tell me a lot about myself..and they keep me going. However I am a day dreamer too....and go with these lines-
"Always keep a dream in your pocket
For its a nice thing to do....and it keeps on reminding you,
that it might come true"
So keep dreaming and dream big!

Altruism...

I am in no support to altruism as it is defined by Ayn Rand...and i do believe that whatever situation we are in, we are ourselves responsible for it. so blaming the circumstances is teh lamest thing to do ever. Circumstances are nothing but mere references of times when you behave most irrationaly.
As far as those people are concerned who are believed not to have 'got' enough oppurtunities in life..I would say you have to find oppurtunity for yourself, and if not found, create it. Society having pity on those people doesnt sounds good to me. Roark never got any oppurtuniy from the society..he held up to his ideas.
Also I support that every act has soem self interset motivation in it.
More facts that disregard altruism are defined in Atlas Shrugged...the basic gist saying that even TAlas should not selflessly bear the load of the earth!
I would like to discuss more about Atlas Shrugged..which i feel is a refined version of Fountainhead.

Wat say?
