Almost everyone has a dream or dreams. Most of them are about becoming rich or famous or B+ on ICC. Some people want to become the best in their respective fields, like sports or playing a certain music instrument. Others strife for more abstract goals: defeating the ego, realizing the meaning of life or perfecting a martial art. Some dreams are less ambitious but nontheless very important for some people, like learning a language, emigrating in a new country or finding true friendship. And sometimes, people only dream about living like a normal person without illnesses or similiar hindrances.
Only few people work for those dreams or even realize them, though. We all want to get rich, for example, but putting in the time and effort for becoming so is beyond most of us, because the sacrifices would be huge. Thats why we admire people who brought those sacrifices in order to reach a certain goal that is important to them. That is also why Idra (or now Ret) will always be respected (at least a bit), because he actually did what thousands of people were trying to achieve - becoming a progamer in Korea. Ret and Idra both put in endless hours of playing, losing, analyzing and eventually winning. They did not quit, and thats the difference between them and those people who didn't make it.
What is your dream? Do you even have one? What do you sacrifice in order to make your dream come true? Do you train or learn for hours everyday, neglect friends/sleep? Waking up an hour earlier so you can squeeze in that extra session to study for the next test, practice on the piano or playing on ICC?
Maybe you have given up on a certain dream of yours - why?

I don't really have a dream right now. Wish I did, it'd be nice to have some uber motivation.

Earning money is the biggest dream killer

My only dream is to spend more time looking at funny pictures on the internet.

My dream is to become a decent pianist (meaning I can tackle almost any piece within a reasonable period of time) and a composer.
In high school I gave up taking lessons and working towards my diploma (performance) because I felt it was too difficult (and my teacher said I didn't know how to play the piano; she was probably trying to get me to work harder... didn't work).
Now in university, I'm determined to pick it back up and hopefully get that diploma, as well as learn some jazz on the way. I have already set aside thousands of dollars to purchase a good digital piano. Although I move every 8 months, I plan on taking that piano with me.
I'll be playing Kapustin Concert Etudes in no time!

I have none, and it's very sad.
Or maybe it is, to get in love... but that's not really a dream i can do something for accomplishing it. It's just chance.

My dream is to be able to travel around East Asia (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan) without the need of an interpreter, so fluency in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Japanese.
I don't sacrifice anything for it, except my own free time. I study these languages in addition to my current Engineering degree.

My dream is to have e-sports in the Philippines and to be a part of it.. which is why it's a dream 
No e-sports and no "big part of it"
But long term goal, just have kids and a loving wife, also to be a good provider to them.
