In My Dream / Greatest Hits of Korean Drama

Ahem, I guess I should defend myself after being accused of having an unhealthy obsession on dreams.

First, let's dissect the meaning of the word obsession.

Definition: An unreasonably strong and continuous interest in something, or worry about something, which stops you from thinking about anything else.

Okay lets analyze my situation. I have 3 posts about dreams. Will I have more in the future? Possibly. But currently, 3 posts can barely account for a page let alone an obsession. In other words it is uncommon. If we take into consideration the amount of volume in my two blogs and the hundred or so posts, you will obviously arrive at this conclusion.

So I'm not fixated on my dreams.

Now lets explore what obsession really is. For instance, lets have a situation where this girl has a crush on a Korean actor. So far we've established that she has a healthy admiration and idolisation of a celebrity. Nothing wrong with that.

Obsession is an extreme. She can be considered to be obsessed if she crosses the line by having numerous fantasies of marrying him, for example. OR if she waxes lyrical about this Korean actor to ALL her friends. She's not thinking about anything else. Furthermore, it adheres to the condition of having an unreasonably strong and continuous interest in something.

Then she keeps gushing (but he's so handsome) and collects all his pictures in a special collection. Her whole lifestyle is accommodated to adapt to her fantasy.

Stop! I guess you get the picture.

Thanks for reading.
