As a child we all are born with one significant ability, the ability to dream. This ability guides our minds, and helps us with another basic ability, the ability to learn and grow. Have you ever watched a baby sleep? From even before birth their minds dream and these dreams take on even more clarity after birth. They study those around them, watching the world closely. Their only goal to learn and grow. As that growth continues, the ability to see and understand the world around them opens whole new worlds. As I watch my baby sleep I see the ever growing smiles, as his dreams become more vivid.
He watches me closely when I speak, watching my mouth and listening to the sounds that come out. The goal to make those same sounds himself.
How does this fit with the overall scheme of this series? Well sit back and let me tell you. At the age of infancy there are only a few governing rules. Safety, food, and time to learn. They don’t worry about money, work, or even objects. They care only that they feel safe, and have interaction.
It’s those dreams and growth that propel them to the next stage of life. Living in the world of imagination.
