"Dream is not the thing you see in sleep but is that thing that doesn't let you sleep."
When Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam had said so, being a worthy man, I think he couldn't foresee the potential of misunderstanding the statement. Many atheists have denounced God every time they saw that science went a step further. I was one of them. Should I regret for now, I realise that many of these have also forgot the origin of God. The unpredictability of nature, the unconditional nature of life, and the illogical way life happens to people is why we needed hope for Good. Today, when we see dreams as vague abstract impractical 'irrelevant' ideas that cannot be achieved, we are helping them not let us sleep, but only in a pessimistic sense. Whether we are working towards them or not being an entirely different topic, it is important for us to realise that the actions we do may or may not end up being the result we expect. This process isn't a scientific experiment, or even if it be safely assumed to be one, we are the ignorant layman scientists putting up senseless theories to test. All of these senseless theories are based on the heroic "control hypothesis."

The butterfly flaps its wings a thousand miles away and a new tornado is formed. We are firmly adhering to "the butterfly effect" theory and we have turned very reluctant to everything that might not have an effect. Indeed, for if you have forgotten or never known, the butterfly effect theory is a tiny bit of 'the chaos theory'. It might be true partially, indeed by a fraction of the orders of one in a zillionth. There are many other butterflies that flap their wings anyway and the energy dissipates into nothingness. What we forgot is the 'Karma Yoga' of Bhagavad Gita, or any of its siblings from other religions. The ruling that we do best what we are destined to, and that nature (God) will take care of everything that follows.
Living in the past, regretting and rejoicing over events that have been to an end, and living in the future (dreaming as some today call it), planning, preparing and worrying over events that may or may not be, we are forgetting to value correctly the importance of 'now'. I don't think anyone has put the idea of Karma more pleasantly than Master Oogway when he says,"Quit, don't quit, Noodles, don't noodles. You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." To better it, and to assure you that you're not entirely helpless, but have at the disposal of your will, a choice to make the difference or not, he added the importance of belief. Depiction of all the nature's force to drive you, your inability to control it, and the way towards mastery in such a simple episode is really enticing.
Please do not let the illusion of control drive you. Believe that you can do it, and wait for the nature.
