Dreams; Some Thoughts About the Reality and Nature of The Dreams.

To see something in the condition of sleeping is called dream. There are different sayings about dreams some people say that the reality of dreams is always opposite to it. Some says that dream is the signs of upcoming events. While among Muslims some people have a religious point of view towards dreams .According to my views and experience the saying that the reality of dreams is always opposite to it is not correct.

According to some thinkers when one thinks and rethinks on a problem and does not find the solution of the problem. After a lots of result-less effort, when one is tired and goes to the bed, having those thoughts in mind, he is more likely to repeat it in the dreams. Sometimes, it is even helpful, and one can find out the best solution - or even a hint leading towards that solution - which he/she had been trying during the day time.
Bernard Shaw says ‘the voice come first, and I find the reason after’. When someone works very hard upon a problem and fails to get a result of it. Then there is a possibility that he can go into the condition of sleep because he was very tired but his mind was there in the problem. His brain nerves were active in finding the solution of the problem. I think this is the stage when someone gets some ideas by the Grace of ALLAH Almighty.

For example Richard wanger who was a famous German composer. HE himself writes in his book Newman that he had been working years on a composition but he was not succeeded .But one day September 4, 1863 he reached a hotel and could not sleep in night because of fever and noise and in the next day afternoon he sleep and finally the idea of famous composition Rinegold came to his mind.

There are so many examples of such persons who get some help from Dreams. Some time sleeping produces good result .Sir walter scott says to himself never mind, I shall have it at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning . Gauss, one of the great mathematicians writes that he found the idea of ‘Law of induction’ in a dream on 23rd January 1835 before rising .Helmholty says, ‘often ideas come as soon as one wakes up in the morning‘.

So dreams comes to all people whether they are Muslims are not .Any one can see signs in dreams by the Grace of ALLAH Almighty. And the saying that the reality of dreams is always opposite I think does not have much weight in it.

The Need For Comprehensive Education Policy in Pakistan

Education plays a central role for the long term development and prosperity of any country. Only country with educated and skilled workforce can perform competitively in this modern age. On the other hand, a nation with poorly educated men and women is always bound to rely on the human resources and technical expertise of the other nations. However, policy makers of Pakistan - whose education system has been infected by many challenges and problems - are determined not to learn from the history of the world.

Budgetary allocations shows how much a government prioritize one sector from the other. Pakistani governments have a history of low education budgets and inadequate funding for the research and higher education. Some of the ministers are even heard saying that we do not need highly educated people because we do not have enough jobs for them. In the other words, the leadership of the Pakistan is still unaware of the importance of the promotion of education for the development of the country.

On the other hand, policy makers of the ministry of education are not willing to pay the due attention to make the things right. They do not bother to understand the ground realities prevailing in the towns and rural areas of Pakistan. Their policies are decisions are - most of the times if not always - for those students who are living and studying in major cities of Pakistan like Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. They simply seem to be ignorant of the problems faced by the students of rural area. In addition, they do not seem concerned with the future of the hundreds of thousands students living and studying in small villages.

English is another problem faced by many students in the lengths of Pakistan. After matriculation, most of the text books are in English and the student - due to the poor quality of teaching in the rural schools - find it difficult to absorb the nuances of the theories of Sciences. It is said that the English has become an international language and the students must be taught in this language so that can move ahead with the international world. However, no one pays attention that if a student can not understand very well what a text exactly means then how can he perform well in the examinations and in the practical life.


Another problem of our education system is related with private colleges and academies. Now a day’s much of teachers are busy in their private academies and colleges. They teach their student in such a way to make them a dependent of their academies. If we see Top 30 positions in Gujranwala board then we will find that 27 out of 30 positions were achieved by the student of private colleges and the remaining 3 positions were won by those students who studied in academies . In the other words, it is a complete demise of our education system.


The point to be ponder is that there is a great number of those people who are sacrifices their needs just for only to educate their children. They dream to highly educate their children but due to the present educational system their dreams are never going to become a reality.


There is a need that all the political parties of Pakistan sit together and make a comprehensive policy on education. They must be enough increment in the budgetary allocations for the education sector. Policy makers for the education sector must be selected on merit and they must have a solid knowledge about the problems in rural areas. Our education system should be free of corruption we have to translate all our science books into Urdu. To save our education sector, the government have to discourage academies and private colleges and increase the standard of the public education institutions.
