Who gave those rules

Who said having a dream is necessary to live?
Why is it that when somebody asked me what is my dream, I tell them I want to be a recognised illustrator instead of earning enough to travel the world, enjoy life and giving people what i am blessed with?

Being an illustrator is only part of my dream to enjoy life and not work for the sake of working.


Is it bad to be easily contented? I am not regretting anything anyway. I only want to experience everything outside the concrete jungle.

Why does it seem that only dreams like "opening my own company or like being a successful businessman" are qualified as dreams?

So are dreams like "Having my own family, growing a vegetable garden in my house, saving marine animals, be a vegetarian" not ambitious enough?
