A dream deffered

Why do dreams fail? Or better why do dreams not fail? A dream is simply a desire that a person has had for a long period of time, and wants dearly. It is no different than any other wish or desire, except that it's a bit stronger than most and the person has had it a bit longer. Also in most cases when something is referred to as a dream, it is highly unlikely to ever happen. The person who has the dream has most likely accepted that it will probably never happen, but it would be nice if it would. Let's take for example Lennie and George's dream of having a farm. Sure they knew where there was land but until they met Candy there was no hope for it financially. George realized that it was a dream and would almost definitely never happen. A dream is something you want but put little or no effort into accomplishing becuase its so unlikely. When you actually try to accomplish something, it becomes a goal. The moment something is labeled as a dream, it is doomed to not being fullfilled.
