What is your favourite dream? What do you want to do in the future?
Mine is I want to work for social agency in administration or reception or something. I just like to be involved. Then I go home to my extensive personal library and relax with a glass of wine (I don't drink) and a book.

Pretty simple I know.

1. I just want to retire. Is that too much to ask?
I want to retire and putter in my garden, redecorate the house, enjoy spending time with the dogs, and travel to some of the national parks.

2. I'd like to find a companion in life
Most people don't seem to have much trouble doing that, but I do.

7. When you consider the huge number of people on internet singles sites, you're not the only one
to"have much trouble" . At least you seem to be doing more about it than I am, so good for you right there. I bounce between still trying ( and I'm a LOT older than you) and giving up ( and more giving up than trying too,). I see people here say they've given up and are quite content with it, but not me. And I'm not sure I believe all of them either. But don't get down on yourself because"everyone else" finds it easy to do, because lots and lots of people DON'T find it easy. I too can't think of anything I'd like more than a companion to grow old with. Time's on your side a lot more than it is on mine. Hang in there friend.

3. I am retired and have just enough money to enjoy it. My dream is simply to be
around for a long time to come-I want to squeeze every fuckling dime I can out of my pension plan.

And eat a few more banana splits.

9. My novel gets published and it becomes a runaway bestseller
It wins the Pulitzer Prize and I get the Nobel for Literature. President Obama and Congress are so affected by reading it that they turn the U.S. into a social democracy, with the help of the Supreme Court, whose members have also read it and are blown away by it, except for Scalia and Thomas. James Cameron and Wes Anderson co-direct the film version with a stellar cast including, but not limited to, Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Tom Wilkinson, and Max von Sydow as the "High Judge". It also inspires a bestselling video game. Eventually translated into every known language, including Klingon and Sindarin, the story so affects the world that a new era of peace and prosperity follows. The Olive Garden even names a new dish after it, comprised of bland sausage, spinach fettucini, and lots and lots of cheese.
I spend my remaining years hosting lavish dinner parties at my ranch in Sedona with a revolving guest list of literary, entertainment and political luminaries.

18. I suggest you bookmark this...
The only thing I'm unsure about is the Olive Garden part. :silly:

11. At first I read your subject line as 'your furniture dream'.
And I was going to respond that my dream is to someday buy furniture that I do not have to assemble. :eyes: That could probably serve as my future dream too, now that I'm thinking about it.
