I have dreams of being a medicine man. It seems highly unrealistic that I will be able to throw dust onto a sick person and heal him, or make some treatment for diseases by crushing exotic leaves together. Now I'm sad.
You just need the right leaves and the right dust/powder.

Sip, did you read my mind? More or less, you just described the phase I’m going through but I don’t know if I can keep up with it. But the guilt that without your daddy’s help you’d be a worthless piece of xxxx is always with me, being 23 and still relying hugely on your father, that kinda bothers. (And soon I should make a BIG decision that could change my life forever.)
But in your case, I feel that many elements (some environmental) besides your intelligence and hard work have had huge effects to take you where you are today.(Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to put your self down.)
I was very lucky to have great parents ... "daddy's help" ... he has always been a very very big help in many ways. And so has been my mom. They were the ones who always encouraged me and even pushed me to do my best. Of course it was also very nice of them for not kicking me out of the house while I was in school till 28. Although with the exception of "rent" and the home cooked meals, I did support myself for everything else after highschool (school, car, insurance, books, clothes, travel, etc).
But there are definitely times where it's hard to stay optimistic ... like when you are 27 and still in school, with friends off working with decent jobs, forming families, buying fancy cars and homes, etc, it's hard to sometimes stay focused on dreams. But I am glad I did! Because when they do come true, there is really no feeling like it Talking of age, 31 is right around the corner next month but I don't feel a day over 30.
At the same time though, it's not good to dream too much ... sometimes you have to count your blessings with what you have and enjoy the life in the now. Sometimes it helps to think how much worse things could be because as bad as things get, they can often be a lot worse. The hard part is finding a good balance between dreaming, living, worrying, enjoying, and enduring the pains of working hard.
By the way, my next dream (goal?) is to drop about 50 or so pounds I don't think being overweight and old is going to mix well. Hopefully this will be a goal and not just a dream.
I have often been a fairly optimistic person. You can't always be sure but it depends on what kind of dreamer you are. Some people have grand or often unrealistic dreams. Like young boys dreaming of being NBA stars ... well, unfortunately, that ain't gonna happen
But dreaming of finishing up a degree, or buying a certain kind of car(s) and building them to your likings, a fast boat, taking certain kind of trips, dating or living with a super hot and smart girl, landing a good job, buying a house, etc etc
... those are the kinds of dreams that can definitely come true with some careful planning, hard work, and sometimes with a bit of just pure luck
No, I’ don’t dream of being a queen. I’m not unrealistic, but even when talking about the realistic dreams you mentioned, it is not an easy thing
at all to achieve all this especially for someone your age, if they have been accomplished solely and without daddy’s help. Anyway…I think God has probably “kissed” you.
At the time you were dreaming, I wonder how sure or optimistic you were about them to come true one day?
