When you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever.

Things began to go wrong when I was seventeen. My bands twenty-year-old lead guitarist earned seven years in jail for a drug-fuelled spree of violence. The other band members were quick to let go of their musical dreams but I never did. They did the mature thing after writing off the band as a teenage fantasy they got real jobs and made some money. They called it growing up. I called it giving up.

Let us depart instead for the fields of Dreams and wander those blue romantic hills where stands the abandoned tower of the Supernatural where cool mosses clothe the ruins of Idealism. Let us in short indulge in a little fantasy

Othalas Words. What are they but shadows on a page or howling on the wind They are as ever-changing as the mists below us and it is just as easy to lose sense of yourself among them. I am older than most sorcerers so what I know may indeed be close to the truth. Magic wyrd words dreams they all come from the spirit. Within them lie both power and peril. For to misuse any is to warp your sense of self. To lie in words or in magic or in dreams -- that is how you become lost. The lights you see they were lost long before they came to the Vale.

We must be careful what we imagine fear or hope for. The echoes of our thought live on in eternity.

The cost of oblivious daydreaming was always this moment of return, the realignment with what had been before and now seemed a little worse.

Sleep is a little death dreams the whisperings of the Other who would drag us all into his eternal night.

Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.

Dare to dream If you did not have the capability to make your wildest wishes come true your mind would not have the capacity to conjure such ideas in the first place. There is no limitation on what you can potentially achieve except for the limitation you choose to impose on your own imagination. What you believe to be possible will always come to pass - to the extent that you deem it possible. It really is as simple as that.
