    kind of a funny topic but everyone has them (not you sleep dreams.)

    But what did you intend on doing in life? Did you succeed?

    I'm not at that age where I can tell because I'm still working on it. But my life is totally different than what I thought it would be just 5 years ago. Literally I have changed into a whole different person who is less kind and less caring.

    Anyways I used to want to be an engineer like my father growing up, but I kind of had some sort of "power" epiphany in Washington where I went inside capitol hill and sat in the huge comfortable chairs that our senators sit in and make life changing decisions that go on almost every day. Ever since then its kind of my mission to reach that level. Inside the building (I don't know if ya'll have been there) the most powerful people in the world sit around and vote on our destiny. And since the US is the most powerful nation to ever spawn I consider DC to be the most powerful city in the world where the most powerful people in the world live.

    The professionalism and sophistication of the system just impresses me.. The offices these people have.. just wow. Their pretty secretaries and staff of the brightest in America, and their young but sharp interns. Seriously its the best job you can have is to be someone in the country of someones. Just amazing.

    So what where you're dreams? (and dont be a douche bag about it saying you want to be superman or stalin, keep it legit)

    lol. Awesome.

    I'm hoping to go to law school and eventually work in international humanitarian/human rights law. It's a long path, and seeing's how I'm right at the beginning, I'm not sure if I've succeeded or not. I'll tell you in 20 years?

    live your dreams, work hard for them, never back down. nothing is easy, the best things are hard.

    don't do anything stupid.

    and my personal quote:


    you live and die by the decisions you make, whether they are the right decision is not as important as the fact that you yourself made them.

    I really don't care about material dreams, though I do "wish" for things.

    Truly the only thing I work hard at is to be happy and healthy. Achieving those two things makes anything else I accomplish seem like added perks IMO.
     
  7. same as dukedave5200 here. I could care less as long a I have my computer and internet (because thats how I earn my money)

    I don't have any dreams, I'd just like to make enough money online (couple hundred thousand dollars) (i'm a poker player) to secure my future and if I don't want a regular job, having the choice to do so and also to travel around the world.

    I'm 34! Spent last 13 years as a cop! I'm very tired of public service, for the reasons I have outlined in other threads. I have an Engineering Degree but never used it! I'm presently in my last year of a Post-graduate Diploma in law (Sat my Criminal law exam this morning, more to come on Wednesday and Friday).

    The plan was to become a solicitor, but I have another 2 year course (Legal Practice Course) to do first! That course costs £9500. I spent £6000 on this course, that's a lot of money and what do I get at the end of it, a trainee solicitors post and a £20,000 pay cut (in the first two years, at least). I know the money can be good after that but its a bitter pill to swallow.

    I suppose what I'm trying to say is that my dream has always been to be happy! I'm not happy at work so I'm changing that, its just going to be the hardest slog of my life to do it!

    I suppose that depends on your point of view! I believe self-esteem comes from doing things that are extremely difficult but rewarding.

    Personally I would hate making my way in the world like that. He says he wants to make a couple of hundred thousand! I've made more than double that (in £'s) that on Property purchases and I work shifts and I'm completing assignments and studying and doing exams! Now that's rewarding and tiring!

    My "sleeping" dreams have been pretty psychotic the last few years, which may explain why I don't really have any dreams to fulfill in life.


    I do not have a purpose or a goal. I have only my hatred for humanity, hence why I prefer not to go outside at all.

    I wanna move to the country and start living off the land, in natural self-sufficiency. It sucks you need to pay for the land, so that`s where a revolution would come handy huhh.

    Be a Fast Jet pilot, or, failing that, a pilot of another type of winged aircraft.

    Honestly, the thought makes me giddy. Like a 10 year old at Christmas. How can you not go after something that makes you feel like that? I cannot imagine anything better. I would be shamefully wasting my life if I did not try my absolute best to get there.

    Unfortunately, I have a few years of Uni first. Not that I am not looking forward to them, but if I could join the RAF, with a chance of actually getting in, without Uni, I would do it in a heartbeat.

    got a couple of dreams..

    1. i'd like to fly around the universe and visit distant planets

    2. to get an immortal dog, i've had one for 11 years who died of old age and i was only 14 when it happened i was so broken hearted that i've decided not to get any more pets not even a turtle, i just can't find the courage to go out and get me a new companion dog knowing that he'll die eventually in 10-15 years, my family is trying to convince me that i should live the present and worry less about the future but it's easier said than done for someone like me.

    well here's hope.

    My dream would be to win a big lottery jackpot.

    Not having to worry about money , and as is my case at the moment anyone else would be great.

    I would spend years visiting as much of this world as I could. I could spend my time learning even more new languages something that I have often wanted to do. I would build a great home that could be self sufficient if needed.

    If you don't have to worry about money it opens up so many possibilities , it makes me wonder why so many rich people manage to screw up so badly.
