Dear Ivan and other listfriends, I have a dream in which I struggle with countries and people to get everyone together, but people and gouvernments are not cooperating. The countries have their own kingdom and everyone fights for their own interest. I am trying real hard to unite the countries to one big country with loving people. But I have so many problems and misunderstanding with all the different gouvernments that I fail to make it one country in which everybody is happy, without war and enemies. Than I wake up screaming. Except for this week. At the end of my dream people helped me, people involved in gouvernments and people from everywhere, and I woke up screaming, yelling from joy, that everybody finally worked together and that everybody lived in peace and harmony. I was thinking what the meaning of my dream is. I have this dream regularly for several years now and suddenly I know what it means. The countries are all the different Parkinson associations in all the countries of the world. The people are you my listfriends and other people, that I know from other occasions. I (day)dream of a worldwide organization, with Parkinson patients as members, communicating mostly by computer and/or fax. Supported by the national organizations which take care of the local and national problems. A worldwide organization can fight for a worldwide research program, can take care of a worldwide awareness program, can find funds for a research program, can talk to the world health organization. Is this a bad dream?, a nitemare? I certainly don't think so, but what can I do to have this dream realized or is it already done and am I just a spectator. What ever it may be, I am prepared to do my part of the job, of a job for getting Parkinsons Disease out of this world. With the help of some great people, we must be able to get my dream realized. Is there a worldwide organization or will there soon be one? Who knows ? Are there more people out there who have such a dream? Is this our dream? With 1500 members of this list and I know at least another 250 people all over this world who are willing to do something. People who are waiting to get started. Do you want to be a little stone of a research building? or a piece of paper of the awareness program? or a voice in the debate with the worlds health organization? I am waiting for your reactions. Is this just a dream? Will this dream become more than a dream, reality ? Or will I wake up shouting again, because it is a bad dream?
