What is it that you daydream about? What are your secret hopes and wishes? What do you immagine for your future, or the future of the world? What is your vision? What are your goals? What dreams are you hoping will come true? It doesn't matter how crazy or impossible, I want to hear them!

Among all those practical people out there we may have a tendancy to keep our more fantastical ideas to ourselves, but we're all dreamers here :laughing: We love this stuff, and we are dedicated to seeing our hopes and ideals come true! So don't worry about the usual "That's not how it is" rebuttals, we're not interested in how it is, Let's talk about how it could be!

I'll start out with just a few things for an example, but feel free to post whatever kinds of things you'd like.
• Someday I want to hug a lion.

• I dream of a day when men are closer to the earth once more, where cities are so full of trees and green growing things that from above you can hardly tell they are there.

• I want to have pointy ears and dragonfly wings and green leafy vines growing in my hair and have moss and flowers sprout everywhere I pass

• I want to stay in a palace in India with all that beautifulll, airy and intricate architechture, colorfull silks, and a view of sunsets behind the Taj Mahal - just like in the movies!

• I want to find an island somewhere that hasn't been disovered or claimed by any country which I can go live on and create my own little world without having to deal with all the practical matters of property taxes, building codes, and all those other modern inconveniences. I think I could even give up electricity and *gasp!* the internet for a place like this!

•I want to design and build (not entirely by myself) a tree-house castle in the top of one of the Giant Redwoods.

• I want to have a chance to befriend a wild deer

I'm sure there have been other threads like this, since this kind of thing is usually fun, but since my searches for "Dreams" turned up only sleeping-dreams, and I'm disappointed that I haven't seen a big long thread with everyone's dreams yet, I'm starting this one now anyways.

Stealing your dream. I want the world to be covered in greenery again, for people to appreciate the beauty of nature rather than trying to twist it to blank, horrible concrete jungles.

I dream of people living in communities that help each other, that care, nothing more nothing less. I just want people to love each other, to help each other, to work together to ensure everyone is living well. I want them to be interconnected, to know the name of everyone in the community, all the nice stuff.

There are other things, but they're even more jumbled up than these :blushed:

I want to figure out my "calling" as far as a career goes. Something I'm passionate about and can focus on drumming up business, on my clients (preferably something artistic), regularly interact with people but not be with them all day everyday. I'd have flexibility, along with no co-workers or boss since I'd be working for myself. :laughing:

Being able to do this:

Or be able to play this, either on the violin or on the fiddle or on the bagpipes (or all of it):

Also, writing a piece of fantasy literature worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Brandon Sanderson.
After all, mentioned in the same breath as Tolkien isn't worth shit nowadays since Christopher Paolini manage to do so.

Did I mention Sanderson is a genius?

In no particular order, I want to:

travel all over the world, particularly Asia.
learn several languages (there are at least 8 on my list so far).
learn to play piano, guitar, and harpsichord.
record an album.
run a successful jewelry and clothing design business.
become a health psychologist. (mind/body connection, ftw!)
acquire a herbal degree along with my psychology degree(s).
write a book.
give a lot of money to charity and social work.
love someone who will be secure enough to allow me to be independent but also weak when needed; someone who will not try to stuff me in a box.

I suppose there isn't much practicality to be found in this list, but to me it is all doable. I'm sure there's more I want to add too.

I often dream of having various animal sanctuaries like one for bears and one for cats and dogs.

I dream of being super rich so I can buy awesome gifts for my friends and just completely blow their minds.

I hope to one day be an ornithologist or have my own restaurant or both.

I hope that when I go to heaven, Julia Child and I can cook something together.

I hope that one day all the animals in the wild will realize who I am and not be afraid of me.

I want to go back to the 1940s and learn to tap dance and maybe Fred Astaire would fall in love with me or at least think I was cute.

I dream of being completely self sufficient and having my own farm.

I hope that I'll see the aurora borealis one day.

I hope that BSL is destroyed.

I hope that people one day just stop and realize that we're the only animals on the planet that act this way towards each other.

I dream of having a dog named Garrison.

I dream of:
becoming a professor (and kicking the fear of public speaking).
being behind social and political changes.
being the bigger person whenever the opportunity arises.
owning an arts in occupational therapy business.
being a positive influence in peoples' lives through compassion and encouragement.
using my skill of art as a way to help people, not as profit.
traveling to different places and avoiding complacency with my perspective in life.
eventually reconciling with those I have hurt.

I dream of a world filled with love, peace, harmony, and respect for nature. I also dream of creating a band and or be a musician that will be bigger than the Beatles. And many more that I just don't have the time to type.

I have sooo many that I can't even think of them all right now but there's a lot since I spend most of my time thinking of what I wish I could do rather than what I am actually doing. When I was little I wanted to live in a cloud and rescue animals and ride a unicorn everywhere to rescue the animals that I keep in my cloud. Haha. Here are some of my dreams now though, some are more realistic than others:

-I want to speak as many languages as possible, fluently.
-Be a psychologist for people in prison.
-Write a novel
-Write and record music
-Be a photographer for National Geographic
-Be a famous artist
-Paint a snow scene using as many colors as possible, and having it still look white
-I want wars to not exist anymore.
-I want to travel around the world, possibly practicing all my language skills I talked about earlier (or the ones I want anyway)
-Live in an old house with vines growing on it and stuff and pretty things hanging in the windows, and collections of everything I love inside it, and outside a bunch of trees and flowers and random stuff that I like. I have this all planned out in my head but I won't ramble too much about it here xD
-I also want to fly.
-I want to start riding horses again, I used to but I had to quit because it was too expensive

+ Emotional consistency and security - I want someone to be able to depend on me and vice versa because we care for each other naturally, ergo it doesn't put the other out to be there when we [dare I say] NEED one another.

+ I have a habit of being very people-oriented. I want to create or help to create an emotionally conscientious environment for those I encounter meaning I want them to know they won't be judged around me, that I find them interesting no matter who they are, and that I do seek to understand them if they'll let me by listening to them with an open mind. I say 'help to create' because, likewise, I want the same respect payed to me. Furthermore..

+ I want to stop being set back when someone expresses disapproval of my character. What happens is I start to wonder if they MIGHT be saying what they are because I'm doing something wrong and not realizing it, so I feel bad worrying I'm not living up to my potential/am not trying hard enough. It's a lot easier for me to blame myself than it is for me to blame others simply because I can't change them - only me, I guess, and they don't seem the least bit remorseful/they seem confident about their rude comments.

That's all I want to share at the moment.

My most unrealistic (maybe realistic dream) is for technology to come up with a way to prolong my life, so that I can get around to accomplishing all my realistic dreams, such as learning 4 languages, visiting and mingling with many different cultures across the globe, becoming a genius in many creative professions, mastering music and playing in a band (releasing several hit albums) and becoming a fantastic dancer, while making all the women I encounter adore me, and maybe find the women of my dreams to live forever with.

So little time, get with scientist, I can't die yet! :laughing:
