I one day hope to have someone use a quote of mine as a sig line. (I’ll probably have to improve my material.) I hope to reach 1000 posts this year. I hope to have a thread with more than 100 replies. I have some dreams also, but I’m seeing a therapist, and I think I’m finally coming to grips with them. So go ahead and post your hopes and dreams here, unless of course I’m the only one who does this, in which case, nevermind. ---

I dream to own the world’s first Boxer/Briefs Fitting Clinic. Rrrrrowwrrr… I hope someday the Cards will win the World Series and make my father happy. I hope Jason Alexander stops pimping fried chicken. I hope to marry a man who loves MST3K as much as I do. ---

Someone was looking for a new sig. someone else saw something I said and suggested he use it as a sig. If I remember correctly the quote mentioned something about the moon landings ---

I hope I don’t squander my 1000th post in some nitpick on page 4 of a TMI thread. I hope I get a job. I dream of having the money to never need one. ---

My hopes and dreams? Hmm… I hope to meet a bunch more of you wonderful people someday. I dream of having a new computer. I hope to have rich, vibrant friendsips with the people in my life. I dream of Jeannie. well, no… not really… but you knew SOMEONE was gonna do it… I hope that someday I will have enough money to take care of my friends and the kids I know, and for people who are hurting and in need… hopefully, they will never want for anything. (yes, I have love and affection in abundance for the right people… but that doesn’t do too much) F\_X ---

I hope one of these days when I get engaged, it actually results in marriage. I hope to overcome my fear of failure and actually get cracking on that novel I’ve been kicking around in my head for 3+ years. I hope to find a job I wake up actually _wanting_ to go to in the mornings. I hope I can find a way to curb my habit of gratuitously using the word “actually.” ---

I hope one day actually to meet my Doper sweetheart, and _(description of acts of sensational sexual depravity omitted here for the sake of brevity)_. I dream of wandering down strange darkened corridors, and attending job interviews in the nude. I’m told this is perfectly normal. ---

I dream of softly falling kitten corpses. I dream of [cops and hamsters.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=167420&highlight=dream) I dream of a big boat with a crew of two (me and the wife) and days of fishing. I dream of being a monkey in a past life. I dream dreams of people dreaming dreams. I dream of being a movie star. I dream of finishing a book. I dream of having the power to change the world for the better. I dream of having the power to kick anyone in the nuts that I want to with no repucussions. I dream other stuff too. Dark, deadly stuff. Stuff that has no business being posted on a nice, family message board. ---

I dream of my face on television screens across the nation, and newspaper front covers singing my praises. I dream of my image on huge fifty-foot high posters on the sides of buildings and my name in the hearts and minds of every man, woman and child. I dream of vast armies of men and material marching forth under my banner and soldiers prepared to die in my name. I dream of my enemies cowering in fear at the sound of my voice and the burning of towns, cities, and whole nations which refuse to bow down to my will. I dream of power. And kittens. Sometimes i dream of kittens. ---

I hope we don’t have any more wars for awhile. (I’d hope for forever but I’m more realistic than that.) I hope my new job doesn’t end up sucking. I hope my daughter grows out of the terrible two phase. I hope my son grows out of his refusing-to-use-the-potty phase. I hope my husband doesn’t go tdy. I hope things get better and I can stay with him forever. I dream of being a famous actress, writer, director and getting the hell out of japan. ---

I dream of totally boring stuff but I’m in my underwear, and no body cares 'cause I obviously run around like this all the time. I hope we can repair my house’s foundation without going FARTHER into debt. I hope they find a cure for my chronic ideopathic hives. I hope MrVena gets this job with the state. I hope to get through the rest of this year without another surgery. I wish I had my old job back. and I hope to someday write that sentence without crying. ---

Sometimes i dream of kittens. \*\* Dude, that was beautiful. Just beautiful. I normally hate “me too” posts, but man, that’s _my_ dream too, put far more eloquently then I ever could. If I make the dream come true, you want a job as propaganda minister? And if you get in power first, could you consider not putting me in the gulag? 🙂 ---

I dream of doing a vanity search and having my name turn up in a thread I haven’t posted to, preferably for positive reasons. I dream of being the person I know I could be if only I’d stop getting in my way. I dream of not being afraid anymore. I dream of rope ladders and of battleaxes, of flying and of laughter, of joy and childhood and green, green grass and, very occasionally, of food. And then I wake up. ---

I’ve never had any dreams for myself. My dad taught me I could fail at anything I put my mind to. Most of my dreams in the last few years have been of endlessly going up and down stairs and elevators, never finding what I’m looking for. It would be nice if, eventually, I’m seen on the SDMB as a guy who seems to know what he’s talking about. Probably never happen.☹ If I ever win big in the lottery, I’m gonna subsidize this message board [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-hopes-and-dreams/170783.md?page=2)
