I define the American dream as the ability to imagine a way that you want your life to turn out, and have a reasonable hope that you can achieve that.

The American Dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn't really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.

The American Dream is a phrase we'll have to wrestle with all of our lives. It means a lot of things to different people. I think we're redefining it now.

We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to the dreams of Americans.

For many, the American dream has become a nightmare.

In Americana, the facts and the dreams seem to be all the same to me.

American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.

Dream study impacts culture. We are put in touch with the inner poet who dreams. We hear our inner, subjective response to the outer world. That helps spiritualize our lives.

Dreams say what they mean, but they don't say it in daytime language.
