The intriguing thing about our dreams is we're always the "Star". Comedy, romance, murder mystery, drama, documentary of a heroine - there we are in the middle of everything. When we're awake we also star in our dreams. Dream big and work toward your goals and you'll write a story with your life that will cause satisfaction beyond what would occur if you were a television or screen celebrity who plays roles about fictional people's lives. Whether the story is a tragedy or a cherished classic depends on who we want to become and if we pursue our dreams.
