Dreams are present in everyday life. Often we dream and don't even remember what we dream. Sometimes what we don't realize is that dreams can come in different forms. Three forms of dreams are visions, goals, and fantasies.

Visions are things that you want to do in life. They are things that you can see yourself doing years down the road. One vision that I have is to be a ballerina. I have taken dance class for a long time and I want to pursue it for a career. It may never happen, but still it is my vision.

Goals can be long term or short term. They are different from visions because goals are things that you think you are definately going to do. I have a goal to finish school and become a doctor. I want this for my life because it is important to me, so that is why it is my goal.

Fantasies are things that you dream about but you know they will never come true. Fantasies are important because they keep your mind from being serious all of the time. One fantasy of mine is to live on the beach in Maui and not have to work my entire life. This fantasy keeps me grounded because it gives me a chance to let go of everyday life.

Dreams are important. It is really important to have dreams because they motivate you. Three types of dreams are visions, goals and fantasies.
