Ah but all your dreams cant come true, because if you did get everything you were dreaming about you would become complacent and start wishing/dreaming of something new. And once you did you wouldnt have everything you dreamed for.

Come on, possibilities could be endless.

So dreams aren’t real? @Inked_up_chic

So dreams are real? @Deja_vu

Deja_vu's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies They could be. It depends on the dream. Personally I like to think big. There’s nothing wrong with that.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

Agreed… There’s nothing wrong with believing in Unicorns… Though that does not make Unicorns True.

Deja_vu's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies I said it depends on the dream. Don’t be a smart ass.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

Who decides the dependency?

Deja_vu's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Such a vague question. You should of put more thought in it for the type of answers you’re appartently looking for. Otherwise I guess you could debate with any answer if you so do please.

I have everything I ever wanted, and my days are spent in the pleasure of enjoying it all.

InkyAnn's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies No im not saying that Dreams arent real, just the fact of ”ALL” of someones dreams coming true isnt possible.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

Thanks for recommending to me what I “should” do @Deja_vu. Your insight is valued and much appreciated. Though I must confess, I’m impressed with your uncanny clairvoyance.

Please tell me… what type of answers am I looking for?

How is my asking a question about your answer considered a “debate”? You’ve made it clear that some dreams are worthy and other are not. That’s cool… I simply wish for you to explain to me who/why/how such designations are determined.

@Inked_up_chicreal OR realistic?

More dreams.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

Nice! @FutureMemory

Should we settle for anything less?

InkyAnn's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Dreams can be both, real and realistic

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

@Inked_up_chic I’m not trying to be jerky… really… but I know it seems like it… sorry.

Well, does your reality judge what is real and realistic for me, whilst my reality judges what is real and realistic for you? Or are we capable of determining what is real and realistic for ourselves?

Legitimately… I ask this of you.

Robert Anton Wilson calls this phenomenon “The Reality Tunnel”… supposedly, we each have our own individual reality tunnel, and it is the mother of all dogma.

InkyAnn's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies I think that we all decide for our selves what is real, realistic and reality. Its one of the greater gifts we have, to think for our selves, choose our own paths and decide what ever we decide to decide apon…

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

That’s a nice dream. I hope it comes true one day.

Woe to the politician, the demigod father, the overbearing mother… who discovers this too late.

Human beings will never be satisfied, we will always want something more or something different. What we dream for depends on our circumstances, but we will always have dreams.

Kraigmo's avatar

that all others’ dreams come true

for more dreams

Your_Majesty's avatar

I have more than one dream and I keep dreaming. My life is just like a rotating wheel where one accomplished dream will never satisfy me.

My dreams will be complete when that new hip is in place. I know everyone is tried of hearing about my new hip, but life has been a real chore lately.

Dreams are very interesting and can be interpreted very differently by everyone. When you learn to control your dreams you can use them for your own benefit and learn from them. Dreams are your sub-conscience’s reality and are for your inner self to regenerate itself and for your body to recover for the next day.

Seaofclouds's avatar

It depends on what you mean by “dreams”. If you mean the dreams I have at night, I wouldn’t want them all to come true since some of them are really weird and out there. If you meant all of my dreams as in the things I wish and hope for in life. I’m sure if all of my current dreams came true, I would think of more. I try to work on my dreams though, but I only focus on 1 or 2 at a time. If they all suddenly came true, I’d enjoy them and then think of other ways to make our life even better than it already is (such as vacations as a family and stuff like that).

thekoukoureport's avatar

I believe all my dreams have come true (not to the extent that I dreamed). So I keep trying to find new dreams.

Coloma's avatar

The trick in life is to not be constantly pursuing ‘more’, but to simply enjoy your beingness, aliveness and what you already have, accomplished, without the endless chasing for more, bigger, better, etc.

Be here now!

How many people put off living life until this, that, or the other thing has happened.

One of the most unhealthy traits of this ‘modern’ society.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

I really don’t dream that much, never did. The things I want most are very attainable, they just haven’t been for me per se.

Marva's avatar

Well, if all of everyone’s dreams will come true, incl. world peace and such, and the price is that there is nothing left to dream of, I’m buying!

Unless everyone’s dreams coming true includes Ahmadinejad’s dream to rule the world…..

Berserker's avatar

Well, there’s always regret. I would probably wish for not having wished for whatever bullshit I’d wish for lol.

jrd199's avatar
