So after reading Mariella Hunt's 3 Reasons Why We Need Dreamers I felt like giving my own take on what a dreamer is. Not only because I am reading A Court of Wings and Ruin (the Court of Dreams everyone!) but because I've come to realize that I'm a ridiculous dreamer. A dreamer isn't just someone who daydreams and always has a far off look in their eyes. There's so much more to us.
So here are five things that make you a dreamer:
A dreamer is someone who has an inner child that will never die. Are you older than ten years old and still adore Disney? Not even a casual like of Disney movies and merch but like hardcore adore Disney and buys all the Disney things at Hot Topic and is not ashamed to boast your love for your favorite characters? Are you in your late teens, twenty's, thirty's, forties and still go to the Middle Grade section at Barnes and Nobles to look for the latest books meant for tweens and early teens? Do dream of fairies and far off lands? If you are or do any of these things you might be a dreamer with an inner child that is still alive and kicking.
A dreamer is someone who dreams big dreams and fights to make them reality. This is what makes us different from others, amongst other things. Most people just dream of a life where their a published author, an artist who is actually selling their work, an established actress, or starting their own business, but that's all those are to them. Just a dream. Something that they might do at some point but right now its just a dream and will never happen. But as a dreamer, you know what your passionate about and you fight for it. Instead of accepting your dream, you work hard to see that dream become a reality.
Dreamers can be -- and usually are -- hopeless romantics. Do you believe in true love? Love at first sight? Dream of a whirlwind romance only found in TV shows and books? Do you adore a good, cutesy YA romance novel or daydream about the classics like Pride and Prejudice or Wuthering Heights? If you believe in the power of love and not just romantic love. Family love. Friend love. Any of it, then you might be a dreamer.
A dreamer is someone who breaks the rules. Just this morning while I was scrolling through Facebook I watched this video of a guy who made these amazing, incredibly detail art of a city. It looked like he made it out of salt or sand and when he lifted the canvas up the sand fell away revealing this gorgeous cityscape. He said how everyone in the art community said that it wasn't possible. He wasn't going to go anywhere with his artwork, but he wanted to test the limits of art, break the rules of what made a "real" piece of art or picture. And he did and he said if was fulfilling and accomplishing that he had created his own form of art that others could enjoy. Dreamers are those who broke the rules in their craft. They don't stick to the status quo. They aren't satisfied with what everyone else is doing. They want to express themselves in their own way, test themselves and their abilities, strive to be the best that they can be in their craft. They break the rules.
A dreamer is someone who appreciates all the small details of life. Dreamers are the ones who stop to admire a flower or the setting sun. They appreciate the arts. Paintings, drawings, music, well-crafted writing and characters. They stop to breath and take life in right where they are, stop to appreciate the beauty around them even in the middle of a difficult situation.
So there you have it. Five attributes that I believe most dreamers have in common. Don't let the harsh world tell you to get your head out of the clouds. Be yourself and be a dreamer. Don't let anyone drag you down to earth, because we need dreamers like you to break rules and push limits and remind everyone of the beauty and magic in life.

Have a great week everyone!
