Is there a psychological term or explanation for having a dream or really wanting to experience something and when you finally get to achieve it or do it, you are left a little disappointed with it and would rather go back to having it just as dream again?
Sorry if this is confusing, I just have this on my mind atm.

It is all about expectations. Sometimes people can have higher expectations of things due to the way it is portrayed. They fail to take into account all aspects of a situation. It's human nature: we like to view things in the most positive way possible. However we have to be realistic and some people basically fail to to look at the cons of the situation (thus resulting in amore realistic view of a situation, event, etc). So basically there is nothing wrong with having dreams or high expectations, but just remember to encorporate the realistic side of things occasionally.

I don't know a fancy term for it. To me it's like the night before Christmas and the anticipation. Then when everything is opened, the meal is over and everyone has gone home, there's kind of an unexplainable let down. Your dream may represent our high expectations for things that never seem to be able to stand up to real life.

Unfortunately this is called 'Real Life'. What we perceive as being the ideal solution turns out not to be (after the event) but at the time seems to be the ideal solution. There is no such thing as an ideal solution because all it does is open up unforseen by ways that then need to be addressed
