Can You Piggyback Off of Someone Else's Dream?

Now that I have graduated from college, I find that I’m not quite sure what my dream or dreams are anymore. When you’re a child all you do is dream, but eventually things become more and more real. Lately, however, I’ve been doing a lot of dreaming and don’t seem to be coming up with anything that sticks. I know that I wish to live an honest, good life filled with love and adventure; but what is my “dream”? I have no idea. This question got me thinking… what if I could just borrow some else’s dream for a while. Maybe I could even be better at it. It’s not like they have a copywrite for it or anything right? Why can’t we ride the same wave?

You might ask why I have to have a dream. Why can’t I just chill until something comes to me with a quick breeze on a warm summer day? Well, I can’t wait that long. Dreams are what inspire and drive people to be greater than what they are; or at least until you have a force in your life motivating you like a spouse or children. I’m sure that we would not be lost souls if we didn’t have dreams. Dreams just make everything more exciting and meaningful.

What’s your dream? I hope you don’t mind if I borrow it for a while :)
