Meeting Minutes for 1/13/2009

(Yep! We reenacted this scene...)

Dreem Reality Meeting

Date: Tuesday 1/13/2009 Time Start: 12:59 am (Pacific) Time End: 1:56 am

Location: San Jose International Airport

Attending: Phoenix – President; Dani – Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer

This was a really exciting meeting for the both of us. We have had a few unofficial meetings already to get Dreem Reality up and running, but This one was the first timed meeting with some structure to it. It was a powerful meeting to have, at 1am in an airport. It was the perfect location since what we are wanting to do is travel. Having the excitement for our up coming travels gave us that perfect buzz for ideas and action with what we have to do and get done to finally get incorporated.

As the airport was fully asleep, with people cleaning everywhere with vacuums and such, we were creating, creating, creating.

Dreem Reality has been great at busting through old concepts of taking on a project that seems big and overwhelming. Through the concepts of Dreem Reality I have come to realize that every business, corporation and dream has all stemmed from a small thought. Through that thought and idea things in reality get built upon more and more. Finally turning into a concrete substance that you can use and see in your world. Set backs are no longer a worry for me, because there will have to be some, it is all a part of the process to me now and I welcome any that come our way. It has been such a joy to watch Dreem Reality start to grow and know that it will only continue to do so as long as we have the desire to keep it growing. Through Dreem Reality not only am I able to actualize my dreams of travel, but it has helped me realize that any dream, big or small can be actually created, as long as you hold the dream strong and kept pushing to create it in your world, your reality.

I know the future only holds more room for growth for Dreem Reality, and for all of our dreams that we develop along the way.
