My son asked me: "Daddy, where do dreams go after you wake up?"

Jim Stolze - 05/03/2011TEDxMuscat - Oman
Did you know? During a typical lifespan, we spend six years dreaming. Two hours each night.
3
Your mind seems to be working double time. Each day and each night.

Jim Stolze - 05/03/2011TEDxMuscat - Oman
The day job of the mind is to guide you through the day.
5
The night job of the mind is to guide you through life.

Dreams don't leave you. They're waiting for you tosee them for what they are.

Jim Stolze - 05/03/2011TEDxMuscat - Oman
They're waiting for you to find people who sharethat dream. It's when you feel that certain 'click'.
8
We want to be together with people who believewhat we believe.
9
The power of being amongst people with a shared vision or a shared goal.
10
To know that millions of people also believethat things should be different.
11
And when you meet people who share your dream,you can form a movement.
12
Jim Stolze - 05/03/2011TEDxMuscat - Oman
TED is an oasis for the mind. A place where youshare dreams to start a movement.
13
Where you can turn a nightmare into a dream. To turn an inconvenient truth into a global movement.
14
Or to prevent a nightmare from happening and start a campaign against obesity.
15
Or to give a face to the dreams of other people. A chance to turn the world inside out (JR).

He's wrong.
21
Jim Stolze - 05/03/2011TEDxMuscat - Oman
The Internet doesn't change the way we think.
22
Jim Stolze - 05/03/2011TEDxMuscat - Oman
The Internet changes because we think.
