Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away.

Dreaming of a tomorrow, which tomorrow, will be as distant then as 'tis today.

An interesting choice, Dirk. Do you happen to agree with de Vega?

There's only so much dreaming that can be done before you have to get practical.
"I have a dream that I'm the best figure skater in the world," for example, won't do you any good unless you're actually learning how to skate.

But isn't it nice to have a dream, no matter how impractical it is? The only person who can change a dream is yourself, after all.

"It's nice" doesn't change reality, unless you do that work yourself. That's more important, in my opinion.

Is it, really? Do you have a dream, Dirk?

I have ambitions. I wouldn't say the term dream applies to them.

[prissykid]

The line between ambitions and dreams can be a very fine one.

But it's a distinction that exists. And it's one I'm making.
