Dreamers have the advantage in being big thinkers. Sadly though, they're also the ones to be at a disadvantage at facing reality.
If we're choosing to live in dreams, we're choosing ignorance of reality, choosing to ignore the real for pursuing what's out of reach.
Now, let me clarify something. Living the dream is not living in dreams. If you've got a dream that you know you can reach, well, more power to you in getting there and living it, but, if you're continuously pursuing a dream that you have no hopes in accomplishing, because of limitations, doubt, obstacles, or it's too grand, then realize reality and try for a different dream, one within your reach!
I'm not saying to give up on going for the metaphorical gold, but, in life you have to realize that there's no such thing as a happily ever after - those exist only in fairy tales, not even then in some of them!
Reality is cold, cruel, and while it is, it's better than the alternative of living ignorantly in dreams.
