What kind of dreams are you talking about?.
Dreams when you fall sleep .. or dreaming (fantasize)?.
I think people who live their lifes in dreams (fantasize), live in a "certain paralel world". Maybe they are happier than us. So we better don't question them.
I'll tell you a story:
Talking about "the other dreams", when i was 9, i had a dream that i was flying ... and i arrived to a place ... there was a park. I sat down on a bench in that park, and saw all people around. I countinued flying "in that dream"... and i visited the whole city.
So, 5 years ago (i'm now 33), i made a tour for Europe ... and i recognized each corner of London. By accident, or coincidence i had to move from my hotel (enrico hotel) in Victoria station, to a Hotel named Royal Susset in padington. And i went to a little park that is very closed ... and i sat in the same bench that in my dream, the same scene, the same old people. The little lake, the raindrops falling on my head ... but 20 years later.
So ... what do you want me to say ?. This life is this life ... what is behind it ?.. only God knows. I live in Caracas my friend, it was my first time in europe.. 2001. Es que mira, i remember me sat down in that bench, i was terrified, so scared, trembling ...
I'm not asking you to believe me ... that is an experience i had ...
The same thing happens with Australia, but i am so scared to go, because i don't know what i'm going to find there. But i know there is somenthing that i have to face.
Sorry if you could speak spanish i could explain it a little bit much better ... what i mean to say .. sorry, really.

People can live without dreams, they just are conditioned, so don't know any better and/or choose not to.
Dreams are hopes for the future. Images of the desire for things yet unattained. It is all linked to desire. We desire what we can't have, we can't have it right away, so we dream of a better future or place.
The buddha determined that desire leads to suffering. We desire something, therefore when we lose it or can't have it, we suffer. Dreams are a form of desire. The buddha was simply 'awake', did not desire anymore, therefore did not dream. He was living his! Other enlightened since have also experienced the same thing. It is complete acceptance of what is without fantasizing.

They do? That's not a premise I accept. Not everyone is living in Camelot..... there are plenty of mean streets out there that do not allow one the luxury of pursuing dreams and rainbows.

others animals dream also like cats and dogs--but you don't see them going to a shrink!
