I think that following your dreams is not stupid. We all have dreams and they're part of who we are. I want to have a little coffee shop one day...and a flower shop...and a farm when I can help save homeless animals. :-) And my fiance and I plan on realizing those dreams. But it'll take time and hard work. My fiance has 11 more years left in the Army. So, when we're 43 years old and he retires, we'll be following my dreams together. :-)

It depends on what the dream is...my second ex-husband dreamed of having 2 women at once...he came close to achieving his dream, if he can be believed. 
I think if the dream has substance and the consequences mean that you will be set for life then it definitely has merit.

Of course it isn't a stupid idea to chase your dreams. There are a lot of talented and famous people out there that chased their dreams and if they didn't then we wouldn't even know about them now.
Life is going to be full of disappointments and set backs. Do not let anyone tell you that you can't achieve something. It is only yourself holding back what you can accomplish. Keep the dream alive.

following your dreams.......
No I don't think it is foolish to follow your dreams. But you should at least try to make sure that your dreams are realistic and attainable. If we don't have our dreams then what do we have other than a life of monotony and boredom? At least having dreams can help us to escape from the mundane. Keep ur dreams alive by nourishing them and trying to do a little bit each day to help you to get closer and closer to them. I have so many dreams it's not even funny...will I give them up because other people do not believe in them, probably not. They are my dreams not anyone elses.Happy mylot..........
