2. A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. (Oscar Wilde)
3. Dreamer - This can either be a visionary, or a person who lives in a fantasy world. In my experience, it is often people who live on the edge of fantasy who make positive changes that will affect the world.
4. Dream - An aspiration; goal; aim. Something of an unreal beauty, charm, or excellence. To see or imagine in sleep or in a vision.
5. Moonlight - The light of the moon. Occurring by moonlight, or at night.
6. Punishment - Punishment is usually thought of as a bad thing, BUT if you are a visionary, being punished for seeing things before others is potentially a good thing. Personally, I have made a living out of seeing things others do not see and seeing them before others do.
7. See - To visualize and to comprehend; to understand. I prefer to use the word “see’ in its more expansive meaning of comprehension / understanding.
8. Dawn - Literally, this is the start of the day. HOWEVER, it can also be the beginning; the advent of something great. It literally is the beginning of perception.
9. Before - Prior to; or in advance of. I prefer to think of it as being ahead of others. By seeing things before others, you are ahead of others.
