So I'm sitting here watching tv and see a commercial for "dream cars" and they show Maseratis, Porches, Lamborghinis... things like that. And I literally scoff and think to myself... "Man. And here MY big dream is to just be happy with my life."

I dream to stop making bad decisions. I dream to get control of my emotions and thoughts. I dreams to be able to be happy effortlessly. I'm tired of trying sometimes. And I dream of not having to try to achieve what seems to come so easily to everyone else.

Don't really know the purpose of this... guess the commercial just annoyed me.

Contentment. As it stands this is but a pipe dream...

But that's what I want, a life of contentment. I don't want to worry where supper is coming from, or if the municpality is switching off our water. I don't want to worry about finding employment or holding down a job and wether or not I can pay bills AND eat. I don't want to keep averting crises, financial or otherwise. I don't want to be responsible for fixing things I never broke.

I don't need to win the lottery, I just want to enrol Jordan in a good school in a nice neighborhood and I want to come home to a safe place. A place where I'm able to relax on the couch in the arms of the person I love and think "I have a good life"...

I just want contentment.

My dream is just to be content with what I have in life, and to not feel like being dead would be nice.

I used to not think that would be possible, but I've lived it on and off now, so my dream is to find that and have it be the normal for me.

I don't have TV but I believe my reaction is the same to such "dreams" made of "objects"-----------
I dream of a world in which I don't have to deal with that crap.

I am reasonably content with life. If I were given the chance to have genetic re-engineering, I would jump at the chance to get some strong genes for creativity or painting or sculpting and then using those skills to benefit humankind.

Ah, well, I'll save my oil paints and brushes for that day...someday!

I have a dream where I am content with everything in my life. I am very lucky. I have everything except a boyfriend. I don't even know if I want that right now. I guess my real dream will have to be learning to love every moment much more than I already do. Moments and life just pass me by, I want to be able to feel it more.

My biggest dream is to be a famous comic book artist. My other dreams include being stable and having someone around me that understands.

Many many dreams... Financial security, fixed hot tub, a push button start propane grill, healthy family, education for children, sunshine, a bottle of wine, a love for exercise, social acceptance, zero social anxiety, world peace no borders, monsanto out of business, a clean organized home, motivation to shower and go grocery shopping. That's a start.

my dreams...the ones I have when I am asleep, they are so vivid of experiences in a super-ordinary freakland of awesome-ness!!... frightening and fantastic the place where everything makes sense to me.

my dream is to 'feel' like I do when I am in those dreams.

my dream is that before i die, to at least do 1 thing that matters, and 1 thing that means something.

dunno what exactly, but it would be nice to look back on my life thinking.. hell, i actually did something worth while- or i helped someone, or what ever

i would also like it if someone told me what i'm meant to do.... i'm lost so young and i've no idea where i'm going

often feels like i was never meant to be here

Time to daydream, paint, write poetry, watch birds, lucid dreaming, enjoying the wind, taking NA meetings into psyche wards and institutions to help dual diagnosis folks like me, continue my marriage, take my kids on a vacation somewhere exotic, fly through the breezy skies...but not in an airplane!

My dream is to pursue goals that matter to me, and be able to achieve them, albeit with work, because accomplishments don't matter if you didn't have to work for them.

Right now my goal is to finish my BSc in Nursing; hopefully I can get a full time position then and not have to worry about paying the bills every month. A boyfriend might be nice, eventually leading to being a parent. The degree is the focus though.

I'm still young, 32 isn't ancient to get a degree. And I can start considering kids then too. If I have them before 40, there isn't too much risk of disability.
