Find your Dream Job
A national consumer employment survey conducted by Harris Interactive reveals 84% of U.S. workers are still searching for their dream jobs, announced by CareerBuilder, the well known recruitment and career-advancement website, on January 25, 2007.
"What defines a dream job is surprisingly reminiscent of childhood wishes for many workers. Workers said they want to enjoy their work experience, apply their talents and feel like they're making an impact. Having fun at work was the most important attribute of a dream job for 39% of workers, which heavily outweighed the 12% who said salary was most important." said Richard Castellini, Vice President of Consumer Marketing at CareerBuilder.
What is your dream job ?
We have all been born with unique gifts and talents, but most of us have not been encouraged to find, explore, develop or express those qualities. Consequently most of us have found ourselves in jobs which do not allow us express who we really are.
The first step to take in starting to find your dream job involves identifying your unique strengths, gifts and talents, what you are passionate about and where you can make a difference.
If you're tired all the time, you don't want to get out of bed in the morning, you are not interested in what you are doing, you can't concentrate at work anymore, you might need to consider a job or career change.
Start by answering the following "self-analysis" questions to provoke thinking and to begin your journey towards purpose, fulfillment and meaning.
Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Relax your body and mind. Take as much time as you need to write down your answers. Remove all limits and allow yourself to dream about the career you were born to do.
1. What work would you love to do if you had all the money, time and resources you needed already, or if all jobs paid the same?
2. What inspires you ? What do you most enjoy about life ?
3. What are your values ? Which values do you want to express through your work ?
4. What comes natural and easy to you? What do you do without struggle ?
5. What are your strengths, talents and gifts? What are your natural abilities? Write them down and spend some time reflecting on your answer. Then ask your friends and family members to answer this question for you. What is their perception of your skills and abilities? What do they think you are good at? Ask them what they see is a gift that you bring to the world. Sometimes others can help us see what we may not see.
6. What is missing from your work now ? What was missing from your previous jobs ? Is there anything you wanted to do, but have held back for some reason?
Take as much time as you need to evaluate yourself using these questions until you are satisfied with your answers which will give you some valuable information about your career direction.
Confucius said, "Find a job you enjoy, and you'll never work a day in your life."
Don't wait until tomorrow to identify your dream job. Take action today !

How do I stop the bad dreams?
I've had bad dreams/nightmares for as long as I can remember. I've never really tried to do anything to prevent them or figure out why I have them but I'm 21 now and I think it's silly that I'm afraid to fall asleep at night.
When I was very young (elementary school) I remember having bad dreams about my parents dying. A little older than that I had a recurring dream that someone broke into my house and shot at my family. Recently I had a dream that my sister went missing and my boyfriend dying.
I haven't watched a scary movie in years due to these dreams. I have little stress in my life (not in school, live at home, work a low stress job). I don't eat much before bed. I don't know what's been causing these dreams all my life or how to make them stop.
I read some suggestions about sleeping on your side or doing yoga before bed. What else?? What works for you?
You clearly have a fear in the back of your mind of losing your loved ones and those very close to you. You have to assure yourself that they're going to be okay and if it's their time to go they'll always be in your heart. And don't fear being alone either. Tell yourself that you are independent and that if you lose a loved one that they'll always be someone else there for you.
Just telling us your nightmares can also help a great deal to get rid of them. Talking things out helps a lot. Before you go to bed remind yourself it's just a dream that you might have and to help fill your head with happy thoughts try reading a book. One or two chapters a night, just enough to get the ideas of the book in your head and push out all the negative energy and your fears away. Meditation also works.
Often times we have it so good in our lives in certain areas that we have to release tension in our nightmares based on fears we have in the back of our minds. We have to let it all out in an act so we can see how we will deal with the problem if it ever happens in real life. Dreams are amazing once you figure out what they mean, but that's the hard part.

Article 373: A Dream Sign: Every Thing Is Possible: Short Story
Hasan Yahya, The Dean of Arab Writers in North America
I did not miss any moment spent with friends, to tell that I had a blessed life. To some it may seem a tad boring, but I am still thankful for the great happy moment in my family life. Looking at the past Fifty-odd years. My wife was a beautiful, talented, and gave me three beautiful male children. And one beautiful girl. My parents-in-law are proud that their daughter could marry a successful guy like me, while my own parents never stopped having words of praise for their lovely daughter-in-law. I feel proud of my children. They are good looking and hardworking, they score good grades in their school, and yet none was a nerds. They are also popular with their friends and help out often in community and public work. They were acting responsibly especially in hard times, when too much required to pay monthly dues before I got a decent job. My job was stable and well paid, and although sometimes the workload is heavy, I still get to spend time with my family. I have good relationship with my colleagues and superiors. Sometimes I wonder if my life is too good to be true, but I soon snap out of it. I had worked hard and deserved it. In that life I spent the good years at college, my wife and kids were joining me in my trip to glory. I completed my degree, and my children finished their colleges too. The eldest earned an engineering degree, the second in line completed his computer science degree, the third, my daughter finished her college too, majoring in family and immigration law. The forth, however, completed his science degree and graduated. Later he changed his major in business management, as certified project manager. All were married and my wife and I spent the last four years alone.
In late may, four years ago, I went to bed early, though I could barely sleep. Earlier on I had a strange dream. I was quite sure it was a dream, however, it was a very detailed one. in fact, it was so detailed and although nothing much happened. It seemed to be in a more sensible chronological order then when I wasn't dreaming. that worried me somewhat, but I soon forgot about it as I laughed it off with the rest of my family members during breakfast. In my dream, I "woke" up in a comfortable large room, lit by a number of buzzing light bulbs. Every one of the family members, my children, my colleagues at work, were there except my wife. I was sweating all over, and I looked at my damped, blue mattress. It wasn't all that soft, but it bothered me. I didn't do much about it, thinking that when I needed it again it would be soft and more comfortable. I looked across the room and a badly painted painting was on the easel. I thought I knew how to paint, despite thinking that this was a dream. I decided to try anyway. I held the paintbrush and was about to repaint the painting, but just at the instant when my paintbrush was about to touch the canvas my mind went blank I thought I wouldn't have any trouble, because I saw the already finished image in my head. The image of my wife. Sometimes I feel this way, when I am just about to paint the first stroke quickly, the painting turns out well in the end full of shining colors. My wife watches from far. She was dressing long white dress. But when I began to draw the paint, the first stroke already looked awful. I continued with the rest of the painting, at the same time trying to convince myself that it would turn out fine, but it didn't look like the first one. I tried again, the image looks like my wife. I was pleased to see her, but she left in a hurry without even give a hint, where was she going. So I flung my brush to the floor, splattering paint all over, searching for my wife, with no hope to meet her again. I felt hungry, I looked for something to eat, I found some bread and began to eat it. Deciding there was nothing else left to do, I went back to "sleep", On that time, I wake up, my wife was standing beside the bed, and calling me to get up. It was none O'clock A.M. Sunday morning. When I narrated the dream to my wife I asked her: where have you gone? She laughed it off and we went to Kitchen.
Several nights later, I had the same dream again. only this time it was a little different. It seemed to continue from where I left the night before, but I have a new wife. She was pretty, ten years younger than me. In fact, I hated waking up, I felt it was a dream, but I didn't want to open my eyes. But what bothered me there was no painting tools. I looked for them, but I felt tired, when I return to my new wife in the dream, I saw instead my wife . The mother of my children. Then I woke up. I thought the fact that my dreams seemed to be in some sort of order seemed interesting enough to tell my family about again. But when it comes to the new wife in my dream, I did not tell. I was always like to bring my wife in my dreams, even though she was not in that dream. All members of my family thought it was a little funny. Four years later, my wife got sick. She passed away after three days of treatment. The cancer was effective, which never was known. Her doctors said: she had cancer for a long time. I was sure that the dream I had years ago had something to do with this tragedy. Every time I tried to sleep, I always think of that dream. Every morning I woke up tired. But never talk it over with my wife.
I asked my self after my wife passed away, and wondered if my dreams were telling me the horrible news about my wife. When I met a colleague, psychologist. She explained to me the circumstances and expectations in my case. I asked her, about the new wife in my dream. She answered: You are getting old now, friend! But everything is not impossible. Every thing is not impossible. But I said to myself: Never, will have a woman after my wife. (1129 words) www.askdryahya.com
