Proclamation of Dreamers

"Our life is being created in such a miraculous way that we cannot find a single second of awake attention without mystical continuity, advise, caution, encouragement and punishment, touching straight our being. There has not been for any so subtle phenomenon which could not be reflected into the past, present or future, into moral law or sacred experience of all great solitaries..."

(Jaroslav Durych : The Magic Lamp)

One can spot a Dreamer quite easily.

He passes you slowly, says nothing, observes everything - including you - in a quiet and inconspicuous way. Furthermore, he or she slightly and imperceptibly smiles, at the same time preoccupied with something that is very mysterious to you. Such a person lives his or her inner life, and enjoys it as much as, well, as everything that surrounds him. A true Dreamer is quietly happy in and by himself.

Thus Dreamers are shy people in the depths of their hearts.

They avoid mass gatherings of people and the blind necessities carried out with the will of a Dreamer. He is bothered by anything that is unambiguously defined and very strict - this makes him sad.

Their inner life is aimed at a great distance from the noisy highways, silly billboards and smoke, and moves away into the spheres of their own pace of life, if that is possible. He needs to have space for his creative being, and only in such a space can he be happy, and only then can he feel that he is HIMSELF.

So, it is necessary to say that the character of the Dreamer is certainly fictive. A Dreamer is a fiction of a real imagination. There has not been a Dreamer, but Man. "Dreaming" is part of Man. "Dreaming" is not "dreaminess" or "mystification". It is consciousness as well as poetry: it is concentration, unification, experience, but primarily, it is pleasure and sadness, lightiness and heaviness. Neither reason nor feeling are turned off. On the contrary, they are in harmony with each other...

"Dreaming" isn't naive, nor is iot pragmatic. How can one express a combination of the two.?

So, Dreamers do not sleep - Dreamers are paradoxically awake. They are here. They don't want to be killed by the nonsense that we find around us. They esteem life in any variety, and enjoy every moment of it! They know that they have surely been given a gift for perceiving continuity, and an enormous power to act. They appreciate the human ability to create and include creativity among the basic values needs and values of life.

In life itself, they can see its sense.
So they have a reason to enjoy it, when things at least go a little bit well. They are undoubtedly a part of nature, and that's why we can accept other views of it. The struggle for life continues, and changes only into less-perceivable levels that are not safer. They know that the way is love, truth, inner humility, modesty, and will, as well as strength. But even these features are not to needed to be raised to an ideology. In fact they mean neither religion nor politics - but primarily good will.

This is why some of them try to lose as little time as possible.

Dreamers are serious. Dreamers smile.
