Hope is a Dream that Never Sleeps... ...

For me, Hope is a dream that never sleeps,
Like a shadow, always by my side.
Quietly come to me, cheering me on.

Ever heard of this song before? If you haven't, go listen to it! It is from the Korean drama - Bread, Love and Dreams, and sung by one of the sweetest voices in the k pop industry. His voice is so gentle and soothing, melting me into a messy puddle pool like an ice-cream on a hot day. Oops, I'm fan-girling a little already. But, seriously, go listen to it! It's a song that calms me down a lot, especially when things get really tiring and tough. It is one song that I still haven't got tired of even after listening to it over a hundred times (counted by iTunes).

So what was the last dream that I have dreamed about? 
My last dream, definitely not yesterday, not today, but in the near future?
Everyone should have a dream, don't they? 
Hope is a dream that doesn't sleep, so does that count? 

Not everyone has a dream, I am sure of that. Extremely sure. I know of at least one person who has no dream, no goal in life. It seems that she's lost, lost in a dreamless state. What's her own dream, she have absolutely no idea. "Find a dream!", many has told her, but she does not how to go about doing it. She has nothing to look forward to. Days go past by her like a routine. Everything is moving forward and not looking back, leaving her alone and clueless behind. She wants to dream, but she is tied down by her past. She did have dreams once, like any usual girl, but it all shattered with a single reality. She doesn't dare to dream, not anymore. All she can do is sit there, hoping someday dreams and reality will meet.

A place where dreams and reality will meet, it seems like a fictional place, a Utopian state that is almost impossible to achieve.

Hope is a dream that never sleeps, so there is always hope. 
But what if there isn't any dream in the first place?
Is there no hope?
