Dreams being the lofty goals or perfect scenarios that could come to pass, if only the perfect sequence of events would happen, or working hard and being bold would pay off, or a lottery ticket would produce an overnight fortune. A person's dreams speak volumes about their personality and passions. They represent the ideal situation, the life that could be had if everything turned out perfect.
I don't believe for one second that anyone encountering their dream scenario would actually act the way the expect, though. It's like looking at the tall tower of a castle from far away thinking it must be amazing to be up there. But from that tower, the view is entirely different. It could be better than expected, or worse, but always different. And that's the reason it's so insightful. We dream of our expectations of the perfect world, of the things we think would matter to us most if all difficulties melted away, of what we could do with unlimited resources. It's who we really (think we) are.
