Umquam noli desinere somnantem.
Do not ever stop dreaming.
Negative imperatives require the use of noli + infinitive construction. As I was reminded when I spaced that very fact and therefore gave a bad translation to a previous question some weeks ago. The use of "never" in the sense of "not ever" makes this a negative imperative, in my opinion. Otherwise, I would say: Numquam desine somnantem.
