big dreams and hope

I wonder whether or not we do dream less today than a lot of years ago. A friend of mine believes its the opposite. That we do dream more today than ever before. If that is really so than I wonder why we don't talk about them as often as we used to.

Dreaming less is also not really a problem. However, it might be a symptom of one. When we dream, especially big and share those dreams with others they become part of other people. We may find like minded people, the dream-conversation becomes part of our culture and hopes of a brighter future are raised. Most importantly that bright future doesn't seem so hard to achieve anymore.
