Dreams

Vincent Van Gogh(1889) -Starry night

Dreams emerge through the darkness

Draped with clues and insights

Whispering along the way "I offer you a clue!"

In the Alchemist, Coelho brings to light the theme of the book in an engrossing way. Santiago's destiny is evoked because of the theme that is mainly about his dream of the pyramids. Following the quote "...No heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams..."(Coelho 124), it can be demonstrated that an individual must be true to himself and be confident enough to understand his thoughts and take it further to achieve his destiny. Coelho clearly relates to all cultures and time periods, through the book "...Everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to be better than he was in his former life..."(Coelho 143). Like Santiago, when others allow their dreams to speak to them, then they too will respond to their dreams and accomplish their destiny. If everyone is more aware to what their dreams are saying, they can lead themselves to a more contented life.
