Dreams, the light of hope or the shadow of regret?

Dreams, who doesn't have a dream? And I'm fairly certain that every single one of us wants something big to accomplish. Ambitions, desires, goals all of those three elements are the amalgamation of something called a "dream". Of course, when we were a child, we have envisioned our future, what will become of us and what will happen when we become old. When we die, are we just cease to exist and the memory of our existence drifted away from the next generations? Or maybe our names will be distinguished and be written in world's history. The true power of a man only lies in their dreams, however, not all dreams can stir the world's outcome and future, some only posses dreams for their own benefits which have little impact on society. One man's dream can hold dominion over the entire world, for one who dedicates his life only to forge his dreams, while many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like a great storm blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake, dreams breathe life into man, and can imprison them in great suffering. Man lives and dies by their dreams, but long after they have been abandoned they still smoulder deep in man's heart. Some see nothing more than life and death, they're dead because they have no dreams.
