Amen, @jimmyh43105. This hits too close to home, though Trout’s remark does restore some humor. I wonder how many people have been mesmerized by well—meaning remarks like Grannie’s, little realizing that the dreaming part is only one of the components. Horatio Alger stories were IMO a bit simplistic. But methinks that they were a little closer to the mark than the “dream” line.

Some dreams have to be within reason. As we grow up we tend to learn that the hard way.
