    I'd own a big plantation in Louisiana that was restored to it's original glory right down to the furniture. Some of the rooms would be like museum rooms and be off limits so they wouldn't get sullied. I wouldn't grow anything just live in the house. Being able to keep it all up by myself.

    I'd also not be mentally ill and not have to take five psych drugs a day that, even with a deductible, cost me $375 a month along with the $300 worth of psych visits, that aren't covered, a month. I'd be happy and sane.

    I'd drive one of those big old convertibles like you see on Perry Mason episodes too.

    I wouldn't have to work or worry and could be a simple housewife.

    Geesh, I don't want to live in the past much, do I?

    Now that I see it in print it sounds pretty foolish to me.

    I'm currently working toward my dream of being an interior designer and architect. I want to move to the East coast, like Connecticut or Massachusetts...hell, I want to live anywhere but Indiana. But as much as I want city life, I still like having the option of getting away to my parents' farm for the weekend. I enjoy that simplicity every once in awhile.

    I live in Boston MA and i love it! Nice balance of city AND suburbs.
    Only thing i hate is the weather..but my whole fam is here and it's where i was raised so it will always be home.

    I've never been to Boston, but just by looking at pictures and seeing snippets of the city on House Hunters, I really feel like it's where I'm meant to end up one day. The closest I've ever been to the East Coast is Pennsylvania, but I've just had this unexplainable feeling like it's where I belong. I'm hoping that getting into Harvard or Yale for grad school will be the first step in accomplishing my dream. But as exciting and romantic as I find the idea of leaving Indiana to be, the thought of having to leave my family nearly paralyzes me with fear. That's when I think that Chicago doesn't sound so bad either.

    I would be a hard woking English Teacher in Japan, with a lovely hardworking Japanese Maths Teacher. We'd live in a nice apartment, I'd have my pets, and I'd have a secure amount of money in the bank ;) I would make lots of fun friends, and I'd collect as much manga and anime as I want ;)

    Great Topic!

    I have a great life and it's continuing to get better and better and my dreams are continuing to evolve and become a reality. I have this vision of a place called "Sally's House" - That is also the title of the book I'd like to write some day :)

    Sally's House (Which is also the name of my business) would be a home of health for Mind/Body/Spirit. It would involve extended stay/weekend retreats as well as stop in's for daily appointments. This home would care for the morbid and super morbidly obese patients in a setting where we would cater to the whole person with an approach of love.

    I will be the director of the program and house as well as a teacher/coach and leader. I'd have a team built around me to support the financial aspect of the home (That's not my for-tay!!! :) - but all decisions would be based of the care of our clients.

    I will travel across the country and world as a motivational speaker and author.

    I will be living in a quaint but stunning log home on some acreage. My parents farm which is stunning as is will be encased by a beautiful white fence with beef cattle roaming through the hills and ravines on their own keeping it clear of brush and they would not have to worry about a thing.

    Yup - that sounds pretty darn good and I believe in my hearts of hearts this will happen! :)

    My current life. With the house we want, and this dog. Maybe I'm magically a therapist overnight so I can help people. OH and NO MORE back pain!!!!!!!!!!


    Honestly my current life was my dream life for three years, so I'm pleased as punch.

    My husband and I currently have a pretty great life.

    But if I were able to live my dream life, I would still be married to my husband and have the three fantastic dogs we have. The biggest changes I would love to have happen is that I wish that our part-time job of doing boarding school for dogs could become full-time and pay all the bills. Unfortunately, I have to work a job that provides insurance because my husband has some serious health problems that we could not afford to treat if not for insurance. Obviously, in my dream life, his health problems would be gone. Then we would buy a house and some property somewhere away from the city. I am tired of living the city life! The noise, the traffic, the rude people, I'd love to move away from it all. A house on a lake would be my dream.

    I would have been a professional surfer.
    When I was younger, I played sports, including surfing, as nothing more then a fun pastime.
    I surfed with Kelly in the mid 80's at Sebastian and I never gave it much thought.

    Had I known then what I know now, I would have taken it much more seriously.
    Although in hindsight, if I DID take it seriously, maybe it would not have been fun anymore?

    I would be an adventure travel photographer, personal trainer and adventure guide, in between practicing what I preach.

    I'd love to have a happy solid little humble home base. Where I do all my best planning an entertaining from and all my regular life stuff. I would love for that place to stay NY as long as possible. Once a month, I would go off on a crazy adventure, and once every 3-5 months a really big epic quest type adventure. Like ziplining in the Amazon, wreck diving in the carribbean and skiing some crazy quiet serene little secret mountain in a year, peppered with little smaller adventures in between - anywhere I can get them, locally or not. rock houses, live music, sporting events, interactive workshops, snow sports, water parks, swimming in the ocean, volleyball in the sand - a big tournament full of friends, flag football, learning stunts and trapeze and sword fighting, trampolines and tumbling and learning to swim in a straight line on purpose, underwater photography.... even doing laundry and cooking dinner and running errands.... it's all fun prep for life....\

    kissing the blarney stone, hide and go seek in stonehenge, kissing in Paris on top of the eiffel tower, Russia... China... JAPAN OMG.... scaling a hotel wall in Vegas and a castle in Europe, seeing Athens and Madrid and Rome, running the original marathon trail, ..............the OUTBACK! ...climbing an actual mountain.... making love under the aurora borealis....

    My dream life isn't a dream, it's a list. And when it's time for the greatest scariest adventure of all, I'll be ready.
