In the battle of the heart and the mind, the heart hoped that the mind was a little more considerate and the mind wished that the heart was a little less fearful!

Dreams?
'Of course its inside your head, but how on earth does that stop it from being real?'
Does not seem like a typical dream. Sounds pretty much like the matrix to me. Its actually from a book I (re)read recently. Hmmm ... couldnt get which one? Not a cause of worry. The important thing is what it can mean to different people.
The character in the book seemed to go into a trance and then had a conversation with the above quote being said. It was as if he was dead ... and not really dead. He was at this railway station (wo! how close to the matrix can this get) with a dead man with half moon spectacles and if that wasnt enough to tell you which book I am referring to then maybe you have not read it.
He is not ready to believe that all that is happening is really true and asks the question "Isnt all this just a dream inside my head?". A question we ask so many times. To ourselves. To others. The line I started with was the answer that he got. It only tried to say that our thoughts are as good as real if we are ready to learn from them.
I happened to interpret it differently the second time I read it. To me it meant that nothing in this world can stop a dream from becoming true. If I can believe in my dream I can make it happen. Dreams are like seeing the future reality and its up to you to make it true.
I loved this interpretation of the answer.

"you think i'd leave that to chance?"
A status message... most have a story behind them, so does this one.
Its a line picked up from the Heroes season 3 teaser which seemed to make lot more sense to me than it generally would have. Going through a time in life when, you know, 'your whole future depends on this one decision' is all the advice you can get. Not a place I would prefer being in and surely not something I would like to leave to chance.
But then you realize that maybe you are depending on chance a little too much. Maybe you want things to be a certain way but are not really doing anything to make them so. A scary thought. High time for me to get down to some thinking.
Maybe this one decision was not the only thing going through my mind, and some people did catch on it. People who define what friends really are. When words which make little sense to you reveal your inner most feelings to them. But anyways I'd rather not discuss it at large.
So the whole quote boils down to understanding that there are things which mean to you more than even you realize and leaving them to chance is not the way to go about life. Its out there for you. Go get it !!!
