An interesting question

Global dream: I little more kindness and a little less pride.

Personal dream: Finding love that lasts.

I guess I'm pretty selfish. My dreams consist of my husband and I -- of buying our own house, of having his babies, of careers we will both love instead of loathe, of falling asleep every night to the sound of his snoring, and of waking up every morning to his soft, gentle kiss.

I guess I should've said I dream that someday the world will be perfect . . . but I wouldn't be being honest. My dreams have always been about J., even before I met him. :heart:

I do not think that is selfish; except for your husband, I don't think too many others will dream it for you. And if your not happy the world is not perfect :)
 
World dreams: For there never to be another death in this world from sheer hunger. Hey, we may not be as tolerent of each other as we might be here in the western world, but at least we have enough bloody food to eat. Fair opportunity for all in the world, and I mean ALL.

Personal dreams: To always be as happy as I am right now, and to always recognise just how bloody lucky I am. For my children to be happy, in whatever they do, and to go for their own dreams and ambitions and to always believe they can. To grow old with my husband, and to always know and cherish that love between us. To carry on having the fun I have right now, with who I have it, for as long as possible, and for that to extend to "we" as we all hope for it to be. We know what I mean. :)
 
My dreams and those of my wife usually can be attributed to events that have already happened, or stress caused by work or such drival.

Sexy dreams usualy happen after I lust after some woman. :nana:
 
The purely selfish:

An end to money worries and a little white-painted stone cottage in Sligo, with all the time in the world to write and simply live. SO happy and both of us enjoying the world; SO's parents healthy, cheerful, and nearby.

The genuine and not purely selfish:

A peaceful, gentle passing for my grandmother when the time must come. A warm and fulfilling life for my family and friends. Children for a friend who desperately wants and deserves them. A "waking up" moment for humanity when we all realize that perhaps it really is best not to be complete bastards to each other. More people with strong, good ideals outside of personal gratification; more people living by them. A just, merciful society.

I dream of somehow, in some small way, leaving this world better for my having been in it.

That, to me, is really what's in the impulse to write. To make one thing, however small, that lives on and gives joy and beauty to the world. If I'd written "Cynara," I'd be content to die at 33 as well.]
