Ha.
I have finally done it.
I have reached my dream at 24. it wasn't a huge dream. It was just earn good money, run your own business, work in your pants, smoke lots of weed. Simple, calm and profitable.
I honestly do 2 hours of work per day, if that. I live with my best friend and we drink chocolate milk and eat pizza like it was going out of fashion. I eat good food with family during the day and drink wine with my friends every evening.
It may not be a great dream. It may be insignificant to the human race, but how many of you now, have work in the morning? How many of you are far enough in your dreams that you have time to think of new ones?
I feel very proud that I have no ties to antything. I am 24, relatively intelligent and have a blank canvas infront of me.
I know this now sounds like a boastful rant, but one of us, one of the "dreamers" has made it, and I thought it was a mini success story that should be told.
I completed my dream!

Rocket *** (3) throws in his two cents...
I'm not sure I understand all the contradictions in your post.
You say you earn good money, but only work two hours a day. How is that earning anything? It sounds like you make good money, but doesn't sound like you earn it with an honest hard days work.
You also indicate that smoking lots of weed is part of the dream, some dream...
You eat pizza and drink chocolate milk like its going out of "fashion" yet you eat all day with your parents and drink wine every evening. That's a dream? to become fat as quick as you can? Ever hear of gluttony?
You say you have no ties to anything. That's just sad. No ties means no responsibilities. Sounds more like a cop-out than stepping up to the challenge.
A blank canvas in front of you, again sad, for if you have completed a dream, your canvas would be fully painted. It appears that you have no goals now, no aspirations, no challenges.
A man is not a man, numbered by his successes, but formed by how he deals with failures and challenges.
You have money, alcohol, drugs and you pig out. Nothing of any value or importance in a real life. Although for a 24 year old it's easy to understand that you missed the whole point of life. It is not measured by how much you have, its measured by how much you give, of yourself, of your heart, to others and how you make them feel.
I agree. Spoken better than I could've.
It seemed like a very small dream, and one that wouldn't take much to arrive at.
Shouldn't we set our sights a little higher in life, to be a little bit better, and do better than the day before?
I wonder if that is completed a dream, as opposed to a goal?
Dream indicates you've reach the end, as opposed to a goal, that is a step to a bigger goal still, whereby one might reach his dream, even if it is "small."
