Dreams, passion and sleepwalking
Sometimes, when I am very busy with projects, I cannot stop thinking about it. It goes on and on in my mind. 24/7.
It is driving me so much that I am dreaming about it. One time, back in Indonesia, I was working on a market entry study for one of the telecommunications companies, called Telkomsel. It was about the usual stuff - growth, demand, supply, features, where and when do you use a handphone etc etc.
But it kept me busy. So busy that one night, I wanted to get up, about 3.00AM to go to work. My wife called me back, saying, that it is not yet time to get up. I was actually sleepwalking or something closely related.
I couldn't remember the incidence the next morning. But it is a feature that doesn'tgo away - no, I am not talking about sleepwalking, never did it again.
When I am busy, my mind rotates. I cannot stop talking about the one thing that keeps me busy. I look things up, search for more on the internet, talk to people about it, search input, 24/7. And yes, I sometimes wake up at night, and realise, I dreamt about the project. Sometimes, I even find solutions to problems in my dreams. May be this is also something that drives me to success?

I love such moments- being engrossed in something. For me, it makes life magical. I remember being so deep in a project once when I hit a stumbling block. All the thinking in the world didn't help me. So, I went to bed and when I woke up the next morning, I had the solution perfectly drafted out in my mind.
