I dreamed a dream in time gone by.....

Ginja Ninja

Well everyone has something they aim for.So,what's your dream?


Mine's pretty simple,have a piece of the world to call my own,someone to share it with and not have to worry about what might happen to either of the above.

Be happy; make others happy.

Also, some glorious day I will own a moped.

Novella

I wanna buy a really old house and spend years making it perfect again. I'm obsessed with cottages, no idea why.

Other than that, loads of pretty usual junk - find someone who'll say, "If you're a bird, I'm a bird" to me!

A Beatles' reunion tour......
These dreams don't have to be realistic, right?

seriousfizz

I have a few things which we'll pretend I can condense into one dream

I want to be a successful writer, I want to always be true to myself, and to help give people meaning in their lives through music and word. I want to become a part of the circle of the inspired inspiring those who aspire.

To advance the cause of humankind through mathematical progress.

A Neurotic

Oh, and I don't know what direction my career will go in, but a large part of me will always be attracted to research. It'd be so amazing to contribute to some health research that could help a lot of people. I can't even imagine how that would feel.

My goal in life is to be a pilot:o
It's very expensive and all, but I'll find away!

But recently I've been thinking about doing something in maths in college...don't know what career I'd get out of it!
But anyways my dream is to be a pilot...maybe after my Phd in maths!:pac:

I think there's usually some kind of basic maths requirement for pilots anyway for some reason? Go for it. Maths and pilot - be a hero!

I dream of becomming an Inter County football star together with its trappings of fame and the long stick to beat all the women away with, the fast cars, award cermonies presented by Marty Morrisosy, but i am old and decripid.

Did you see that new course starting this year in DCU? It's called Aviation Management with Pilot Studies. I think the guy said it's all about the aviation industry and in the end you can specialise to work in either the business side of things or as a pilot by getting your licence. Just remembered it when I saw your post. Not sure if it's relevant, but anyway.

Here's a link: http://www.dcu.ie/prospective/deginfo.php?classname=AMPS&degree_description=B.Sc.+in+Aviation+Management/B.Sc+in+Aviation+Management+with+Pilot+Studies

Think I've heard about it before but I've never checked it out!
I'll have a look at it now! Thanks again!

You're very welcome!


Hmm, I don't think I have a specific long-term dream other than to be happy. For now, I want to do a college course that I really enjoy. I'd better start doing a bit more work to achieve that.. :cool:

phlegms

Hopefully I'll get to study history for as long as possible and if all goes well contribute to my specific area of research. That would be lovely.

My dream? To live a life free of mental illness. That'd be pretty great.

Just to be happy really, in whatever I'm doing. Awesome people to share it all with would be nice too

SarcasticFairy

Can I be a sap and say to be happy?

I used to have a life plan. It was really detailed, and there was to be no deviation. Then I fúcked that out the window, and decided I'd do whatever makes me happy/feels right at the time, and worry about the consequences later. So long as I'm not hurting anyone else, I'm quite happy to be plan-less.

So um... to still be married to Grace and have skittle nails when I'm like, old? That's about as concrete as it gets! :P

i dont, tbh. if i ever had a dream, i'd just be depressed when it never came through. i have no aims or goals whatsoever, which is sad i know but thats just the way i am.

I want to be really good at drawing, I would love to dedicate myself to improving at it and hopefully become good enough to make a living out of it. Maybe I could do concept art, or illustration, or graphics design... I don't care, provided I'm drawing and experiencing the joy of creating something I'm happy with, I'm happy!

My parents don't approve of that too much, so for the moment I'm studying something that's more stable in terms of future employability. I love what I'm doing right now, but sometimes I feel as though I've become completely side-tracked from my real plan. Losing sight of your dream is a most crushing sensation. I'm going to make it work though, some day, I don't know what I'll do with myself if I don't.

It's on


My (ridiculously supportive and amazing) grandfather has sat me down periodically since I was about 4 and asked me what I wanted out of life. Through the years I've had various aspirations (rocket scientist, vet, my mom, journalist, what have you) and he's encouraged me with whatever crazy path I've dreamed of following at the time. Lately I've just been saying happy, I want to be happy. And he's all...happy won't pay the bills, you can't just be happy, what are you going to do after college? (The whole Arts decision didn't help matters.)

But I would love to just be happy. I have many material possessions, many lavish ways to spend my time should I choose to pursue them, whatever it is I want. I'm not spoiled or anything, but if there is anything I reaaaally want I know I can get there, my parents are good to me and I'm very determined, but all of this stops at happiness.

My parents can't buy me happiness, it can't be handed to me, surprise surprise it can't even be prescribed to me. So if there is one dream I have, one outlandish thing I wish for and desire - then it is happiness. Just happiness.

/soppy insight accompanied by nostalgic anecdote

I think to have happiness and peace of mind in life would be an amazing achievement. To be always happy in and with yourself is a dream I hope we all achieve someday. I think it is one that probably (hopefully) comes with age and with any luck we'll get there.

In terms of my career, my absolute dream would be to end up working in fashion (writing, styling, whatever) or as a wedding planner. Not sure how my college course is going to get me to either of those places and I always get laughed at when I say them but sure we'll see. They're the dreams and hopefully someday they could become some sort of a reality.

I used to have a dream but then, when I found things weren't going my way, my entire life plan was completely shattered. I was devestated and it took me ages to recover so I realised that it was better to take life one step at a time. So at the moment my dream is to master Spanish, do well in my degree, master the ukulele and get back into art and writing which I used to do much more of.

As for the future I try not to think about it but I do intend on finding myself a prince charming and several babies along the way, I would like to have a novel published (even if it bombs) and I want to be eccentric when I'm an old lady.

Fad

In all seriousness, I do have some sort of vague ambitions......

I dont have some lofty ambition of being happy in life all the time (Professional cynic I are), but I do want to be content, I want to work in a job that pays in line with the work I put in. I dont know if I want a desk job or not, I haven't decided on whether I'm going to do Chemistry or Computer Science yet, Comp Sci is definitely a desk job, Chem? Perhaps not so much. Hopefully I'll manage to get in to research of some form, and I'd like to contribute in some way, I want my name associated with X, a principle of some sort named after me would be nice >_>

I want a niceish place to live, I don't necessarily know if I want to live with someone or not, that is something I probably wont actually decide, it'll be dictated by whether I am in a long term relationship or not. I want a kind of library wherever I end up living, just a room with my books in it, but I want one! Might dump instruments in there too.

I want to be able to persue things I enjoy, I want to do an Arts degree at some stage in my life, there's no real career that I have much of an interest in that can be formed out the subjects I'd like to study though (Philosophy, Religion & Theology and Irish, not becoming a priest......>_>). I want to be able to travel, I want to be able to see place people dont generally see, I want to go off the beaten track.

I just want to be content

I have loads of dreams and aspirations. All different ones. I've moved on to a new one by the time I've realised my last hasn't come to fruition.

Something I always want to do is smile. And hopefully make others smile too. That's why it's great when I see people laughing and enjoying themselves, I love it.

Don't mind people! People are silly!

I have notions of becoming a make-up artist, orrrr some kind of journalist in the fashion-y/beauty kinda field (or, if someone would pay me [well] to write a really sarcastic column somewhere, my life would be made >_>) . Vague notions, but notions. The fact I do Law, which has no relevance to either and could not be less airy-fairy, is besides the point. If I wanna put make-up on people, I'll find people who'll let me put make up on 'em. The fact I'm studying something I find interesting should have nothing to do with it! Granted, the more traditional route would be to become a barrister/solicitor, and I won't become a part of the UCD prospectus or anything for becoming Chief Justice or anything, but mneh to that.

Just cos you study history, doesn't mean you gotta be like... a teacher!

Pygmalion

Lots of money.
A job that doesn't suck.
A lot less fail in social situations.

I'd probably be happy with any 2 of the above.
