I know several people who would prefer to sit in front of that mirror (if it existed) all day long because it would show them their heart's desire. Yet they would forget to live. They'd lose touch with everyone and everything they care about because they think they already have it by looking in the mirror. We all look into that mirror sometimes. As writers, we tend to take some of the things we see and write those stories down. I will admit, sometimes I get really sucked into the story I am writing and start to focus on only my writing, but to live life I have to snap out of it and find a balance between stuff of dreams/story pages and the other joys of life. So to me, Dumbledore's wisdom is to keep living life - not at the expense of letting go of your dreams, but in finding a way to make your dreams reality. Don't sit in front of your dreams and do nothing. Instead, enjoy your dreams and look for ways to bring them about.<br /><br />Looks like I'm starting to ramble now...Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012650793904718806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644796796806029769.post-70191207295242207492013-02-28T13:16:55.000-05:002013-02-28T13:16:55.000-05:00Most of the time I've seen "Don't&quo...Most of the time I've seen "Don't" when people are discussing this.

My take is that it is more a warning to also remember to live and not focus solely on dreams at the exclusion of life. I don't think he is recommending that we stop dreaming or stop being inspired by dreams. More of a dreams are great - only if you live your life while enjoying them.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012650793904718806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644796796806029769.post-1120805526589926202013-02-26T22:19:19.502-05:002013-02-26T22:19:19.502-05:00I have a response to this.
