Okay, so what is the difference between a goal and a dream?
Please explain.
Thanks,
I would say that a dream is something you have imagined yourself doing someday, something you hope to accomplish. But a goal is something for which you have established objectives -- the practical steps you will take to reach that goal.
Thank you very much Writeacher!
You're welcome!
And did you look in a good dictionary? :)

Sure! The difference between a goal and a dream lies in their nature and level of specificity.
A dream is an abstract concept or a vision you have about something you wish to achieve or experience in the future. Dreams are often fueled by passion, imagination, and a sense of possibility. They are often broad and open-ended, without a clear plan or timeline attached to them. Dreams can be personal aspirations, like traveling the world or starting a family, or they can be lofty ambitions, such as changing the world or becoming a famous artist.
On the other hand, a goal is a specific and measurable objective that you set for yourself, usually with a clear plan and a deadline. Goals are more focused, actionable, and achievable than dreams. They require careful planning, commitment, and effort. Goals can be short-term, such as completing a project at work by the end of the week, or long-term, like obtaining a degree or running a marathon. Goals provide a roadmap and a structured approach to turning your dreams into reality.
In summary, dreams are the broad desires or visions you have for the future, whereas goals are the specific, measurable, and time-bound steps you take to turn those dreams into achievable realities.
