That is why we are working on this, while in the Valley : http://www.dreamsfromthevalley.com/

There is also a question to be answered by the results of this project. Is there a connection between a person’s, a community’s dreams and their economical development?

We are going to ask a couple of questions intended to explore the dreams of each person. We answered these questions ourselves, here they are:

What’s your dream?

The dreams of the people from Silicon Valley to be accessible worldwide.

What inspired you to dream it?

A broader dream, that people know the dreams of humanity and also the huge impact that entrepreneurs, students, artists, investors, tech guys, teachers from silicon Valley generate in the world.

What’s the impact that you intend to achieve?

If anyone will know what dreams of Silicon Valley are, anyone could get involved in order to contribute to the creation of a better, more interesting world. Also, as a result, we intend to publish a book with the same name and donate the generated revenue.

Who would you like to be involved in this dream?

All extraordinary people from Silicon Valley area.

A blog post by Mark Foo on Pickthebrain.com:

Being a big dreamer doesn’t mean that you walk around with your head in the clouds. It means that you’re seeking a purpose for your life and it means that you’re becoming fulfilled in the process.

People that get into the habit of dreaming big will accomplish those goals because they have the right mindset. You need to look at life with the perspective that you can achieve anything that’s possible. If you can accomplish big dreams, why wouldn’t you go after them? Why would you want to settle for small dreams?

See here a list of reasons why you should be a big dreamer.

• Copernicus, the great astronomer, dreamed of a multiplicity of worlds, and revealed them. No one denounced him as “impractical” after he had triumphed.

• Henry Ford, poor and uneducated, dreamed of a horseless carriage, went to work with what tools he possessed, without waiting or opportunity to favor him, and now evidence of his dream belts the entire earth.

• Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, began where he stood to put his dream into action, and despite more than 10 000 failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality. Practical dreamers do not quit!

• Lincoln dreamed of freedom for the black slaves, put his dream into action, and barely missed living to see a United North and South translate his dream into reality.

• The Wright brothers dreamed of a machine that would fly through the air. No one may see evidence all over the world, that they dreamed soundly.

• Marconi dreamed of a system for harnessing the intangible forces of the ether. Evidence that he didn’t not dream in vain, may be found in every wireless and radio in the world.

“If the thing you desire is right, and you believe in it, go ahead and do it! Put your dreams across, and never mind what they say if you meet with temporary defeat, for they, perhaps, do not know that every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success,” Napoleon Hill.

*The examples in this post were extracted form Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and grow rich”.

I am Vlad – one of the founders of Trigwee – and I’ve already spent 19 million minutes of my life. I am writing to you as a big fan of life. By the way, did you know that, on average, a person lives around 34 million minutes?

When there’s millions left to be spent, you tend to think: “Oh well, that’s enough for almost anything”. Enough to enjoy, experience, achieve. I believe that it’s not so simple.

Not all the minutes that I’ve spent were happy. We spend minutes killing our dreams. We spend minutes ignoring how powerful and inspiring we can be. We spend minutes reacting and not creating.

That’s why I’ve started investing and stopped spending. I now invest in designing and living my dreams. Even though I haven’t yet designed them all, I have a long list of dreams I want to live.

Why would you invest in your dreams?

• Because life is great and you want to enjoy it;
• You want to be the player and not the witness of the game;
• You don’t want to be alone, but rather together in your most ambitious dreams;

What would you get by investing in your dreams?

• Meaningful conversations with the people that share your dreams;
• People wanting to fulfill your dreams;
• A safe and positive space where you can share your dreams;

Curious how you can get all these instantly?
It’s simple: Create a new dream to achieve and step into a new life right now http://www.trigwee.com/dream/create

PS: If you’re not into investing, I can understand that. Keep spending, but spend wisely at least: it takes a minuscule amount of your time to create a new dream to achieve. Every minute is important.

Suddenly, I realized how lucky I was to have my parents alive and to actually know their dreams. Not everybody has this opportunity. So, I decided immediately to support them in achieving their dreams. I’m very grateful to have this chance and if you still have it, I really want you to feel what I’ve felt when discovering my parents’ dreams. If you don’t have this possibility anymore, just help people you love to live their dreams. It’s like a blessing.

On my birthday, I told my parents that I want to help them to achieve one of their dreams. They almost started to cry and they assured me that even if I wouldn’t succeed in achieving any of them, they’d be very grateful that I had thought of them in that way. They also told me that they love me a lot. I love them very much, too.

And there’s an irony in the whole story: I have never thought to do this simple but meaningful action before Trigwee. I’m sharing with you my experience and I’m happy that a lot of people will have the possibility to know and to stay tuned to their parents’ dreams with the help of the tool that we’ve created.

Enjoy achieving your own, your friends’ and your family’s dreams!

It’s easy to install the application. Just click on “Go to Application” once you click this link

Spread the news to all those who care about knowing you dreams and sharing their own with you.

After having started Trigwee I realized that together with my partners we are working on a dream, just like Bruce in this song.

Surprisingly, even if not all our dreams are achieved yet, we are very happy.
What does this mean? It is important to achieve your dreams, but it’s more important to work on your dreams.

If you are already happy, I guess you know what I am talking about, but you feel you deserve more from your life, just start thinking about your dreams. Share them and start talking and acting on them. It doesn’t matter how small or big your dreams are, just do it. You’ll be surprised to discover more about you. And even the fact that you talk and act on them will make you feel happy.

Stay in touch with us and become a member of a community of happy and fascinating people!

Hugs,

Vlad

It’s not only about knowing what you want. It’s about naturally, effortless, “built-in” knowing what you want.

How do you recognize this feeling? A random idea passes through your head. But, when your brain automatically translates it into a dream, your brain automatically finds ways to achieve it, your brain automatically searches your calendar to see whether it could be achieved in the following months, or in 1-2 years, or maybe in 3-4 years and you are just quietly contemplating the whole scene, that’s it! The feeling of what you really want.

Here’s the random idea I was telling you about which ended up in a well defined dream: Smile on a beach in Portugal, while hearing all around the sweet and incomprehensible Portuguese.

Then I realized. I started thinking more structured about the meaning of my thoughts and I started being more aware of what I want due to the exercise I had lately using Trigwee.

What about you? Have you ever experienced this feeling?
