During my life, I've had plenty of time to dream of different things.
I've dreamt of different jobs, of women and men, dragons and magic, owning and traveling, thinking and moving, living and dying. Very Finnish.

I have reached only few things I've dreamt of. At least few of the things I remember I had dreamt of - who knows how many things were in my dreams until I got them and then I just got used to it? It would be naive to think life would be amazing happiness ever after you get the thing you dream about.
In the end, you might even dislike it.
You seen all the comedy movies making fun of marriages and divorces?
"I see you are no stranger to pain"
"I've been married... twice"
I hope most marriages start from the dreams together. Then in the end, it turns out the dreaming didn't make it work after all. Luckily we are able to divorce and hopefully few of us ever need to get a divorce!
And no, I'm not divorcing my wife.
Having dreams is seen as a standard. If someone doesn't have any dreams in their life, it might be considered odd. What are they trying to achieve in life? Nothing? Not having dreams might be seen as someone is not believing in a better tomorrow - that things could improve.
Life is joy and pain and then adjusting to them. What brings joy to us today might not do it tomorrow, what is painful for us now might soon feel better.

It is said that instead of running after goals we should learn to enjoy the moment. If our lives circle around the dreams we are supposed to have, how easy it is to enjoy the present? You need a bigger TV, faster car, thinner spouse, smarter children, better job, better life, better you..
Luckily these two do can coexist. You can dream and still enjoy the present, with all the small details of life which you would otherwise pass.
That's my dream now. To enjoy and to dream.
I'm not sure if I'm doing either of them as I should.
I'd also enjoy getting few million euros, becoming a female nude model photographer, a new camera, a bigger house, a better car, bunch of pretty women to spoil me, world peace, pizza...
