By 'dream' you mean aspiration, or thing you would like to do, rather than visions during sleep, I assume? There are many things I really wanted to do, a few of which were within the realm of possibility.

1. I wanted to be the man with no name.
2. I imagined myself as a being from a greater dimension, come to the 3rd dimension to live as a god, exercising powers incomprehensible to humans.
3. I wanted to be a mercinary, overthrowing 3rd world countries.
4. no, I never had any ambitions of becoming a lumberjack.

My dreams were usually of the far-fetched variety, & I cannot recall any that were actually practical.

wow those are some cool dreams i would like to do some of them my self... when i get to my 15th birthday in december i'm going to join the air cadets i went there when i was 13 and i didn't like at all becuase every one else said to me that you will never be a jet pilot that made me upset... but now i'm not leting anyone in my way of becoming a pilot it's my dream ever since i was 5 years old

Go for it! My brother wanted to be an air-force pilot, and now he is one. There's no guarantee you'll get in (a friend of his was rejected just for being too tall for the ejector seat!), but the only way you can succeed with that is to start with a dream and a goal.

thre's no words to say of how much i thank you for telling me that... thanks alot!!!!

(a friend of his was rejected just for being too tall for the ejector seat!).

how tall was he?

[DrFrag]

how tall was he?

I don't know. Tall enough that the mechanism would have pulled his legs off. They must be pretty strict with body shape requirements to fit people in the pilot's seat, not to mention medicals. I don't know the details and it's probably different for your country anyway (there's something to ask them!).

[CommanderEVE]

he must of been abot 6 foot 5 or some thing like that... in RAF they don't allow people with bad disaillitys, brething diffaculty, over-wight, under wight poor eye sight ECT... what they do look of is people between the hight of 4 foot 9 and 6 foot 2, very fit people and quick reactions

You know more than me about it.

I remember driving my brother home from his eye exam. His pupils were HUGE! They put something in them. He had to wear shades and he said everything was really bright.
