As I thought about this, I realized how many of my dreams have come to pass. The quote under my name in our high school yearbook (Class of '62) was:

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Henry David Thoreau

...and it does describe my life. My first "dream" involved music. I started playing violin as an 8 year old. After high school, life took other turns and my violin stayed in its case for about 30 years. My parents bought it for me in 1956 and when it was returned to me, I had no aspiration of playing again, but....the music bug bit me again and I started taking lessons (still do). I always wondered what the music for a symphony looked like and wondered what it was like to participate in performing one. I joined a local symphony of college music majors and community folks (with whom I still play). My dream is realized. Playing a symphony is awesome! Related is a dream (goal?) I had to play a solo recital and overcome my nerves and fear of performing for an audience. In 2019, 2 months before turning 75, that dream came true with a lot of work, encouragement and participation from some special music friends. Every time I think of that day, I relive it in my mind and am so proud of committing myself to this dream. Yes, I worked hard to build the foundation under my castles, but the personal accomplishment that results is so worth it. (A photo friend took the recital pix for me)

All my life i have suffered from not paying attention especially in school
my school report would read, Simon would do much better if he spent more
time listening to me instead of gazing out the window, but I could not help it
I was always dreaming of something or creating Abstracts in my head from
what I was looking at.
For this challenge I want to hear and see about dreams you had and achieved
or dreams you still hope will come to fruition one day soon.
I will start this challenge off with my visit to the London Motor Show in 1996
having stood in a line for 30 minutes to sit inside the new TVR Cerbera, it was
in a purple/raspberry color with tan leather interior, sitting in the drivers seat
was so good, everything fell to hand and I just thought I would love this car BUT
at just over £40,000 that was not going to happen but it sure did not stop me dreaming
about it. Then in 2008 i needed to change my work car and a garage some
100 miles away had the car i wanted and were prepared to take mine in exchange,
so a deal was struck and i drove over one Monday and all was completed. In there
workshop I spotted out the corner of my eye a TVR and asked the manager what it
was doing there, he told me the owner had a friend who had emigrated to Spain and
left the car with them to sell, and yes it was a 1996 TVR Cerbera in Purple with tan
interior, I could not help myself we came to a deal and I bought it, yes that day my
dream had come true, it had taken 12 years but I achieved it.
