I mean, of course, your life dreams, though if you'd like to share what haunts or lures you while you sleep, that's perfectly fine as well; we're all accepting here.

When I was a kid, I didn't know what I wanted to be. Who honestly did? Lots of things sounded great: A veterinarian, because I loved animals (and still do); a chef, because my mom and grandma always made such great food and I wanted to do it too; an astronaut, because the stars are beautiful and mysterious, and space is but an unfathomably large sandbox. I'm none of those today. Today, I work at a fast food restaurant, and previously have worked at a greenhouse, a thrift store, and other such places. But our work doesn't always involve our dreams.

For a long time I didn't know what I wanted, and I suppose if you asked me now I still couldn't fill in every detail, but I do have a much better idea. I want to be happy. That is the base of my dreams. What would make me happy, or does now? Simplicity, work without the sacrifice of all of my time and energy, my art and my friends, my fiance and love. I don't have a firm grasp on the details, but slowly my dreams are becoming more clear.

I didn't know a few years ago, but now I want to build my own house. It won't be a traditional house, not on the outside. It's going to be in a patch of woods where other friends of mine will also be, building their houses and lives, in an attempt to live cheaply and sustainably in a world and country where money rules. We're tired of being poor, of using almost all of the money we earn to pay bills and keep ourselves fed and clothed but have barely anything left over to use for enjoyment, as so many others seem to be able to do. I get much more fulfillment from working with my hands than I ever will behind a desk or counter. And this dream is slowly being realized. Like-minded friends, who inadvertently showed me what I wanted, own a plot of forested land, and we've been making plans for our houses, how we'll tackle energy and clean water without having to pay the city, how we'll grow food and manage waste, etc. My house is going to look like a giant, half-buried mushroom by the time I'm done if I can help it, with a big kitchen, a loft library, and a garden I can grow food and flowers in. And when it's done, my love and I will do some traveling. Who really wants to wait until they're too old to thoroughly enjoy different countries to go experience them?

Apologies, that was a bit lengthy for such a simple prompt, but thank you for reading. What are your dreams? How have they changed throughout your life? How did you realize what they were, and how did you start to make them a reality?

when i was a kid, i wanted to be a vet! i've always been interested in animals, especially their evolutionary niches in the world.

i then got obsessed with art, and drawing, and for a while i wanted to be an illustrator. so i went to art college. i dropped out after a year and a half -- it was just too hard, and too much, and my mental health was suffering.

i've spent the last two years just kind of floating nebulously, no real plans in sight. i have a small job, but nothing too important or too interesting. i've recently become interested again in animals, and evolutionary sciences! so i'm taking a class about evolution soon, and i'm really excited.

still not sure what my dream is, but i'm hoping the evolution thing works out for me! being a scientist would be pretty damn cool.

For about as long as I can remember I wanted to work with Lego. I love how the toy is so highly flexible, if I don't like it I can make it into something else. I've never seen someone do that with, say a video game or a push. But my problem is mostly derived from a lack of material and to some extent creativity. I have tried LDD and Creator software, but some elements of my designs are not encompassed by the program. But the biggest deterrent has been the flak I get from would-be commentators. Even those who would be interested have given me such rash comments as "childish" and "low-key".

That said, I prefer to keep it all to myself. I have one real life fan, and that's just dandy.

As for dreaming, I don't. I've been taking meds for most of my life. The main effect is that I sleep nearly shut down. Almost no activity, so no dreams.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be everything that related to art. Even in this point of time, art has been a great influence on me, and will always be. My family has never supported it, but that won't stop my interests in it. Of course I plan to be realistic with my life choices, but I'll always find a way to incorporate art in whatever way I can :). I also plan to move out one day. I live on an island, and it makes me feel trapped. I also want to be able to meet all sorts of people, and living on an Island doesn't really help my cause lol. It's not that I hate the people where I live, but I need a change of pace, and an opportunity to be out of my comfort zone. I feel like I wont be able to grow as a person and that scares me. I want to be able to feel I can go forward. obviously it can't be done overnight. and first I need to get my degree haha. It's just one step at a time~
