Thoreau Castles In The Air

I think the castles represent our dreams. When we dream of achieving something it seems out of reach sometimes, but in order to reach the goal, dream, or castle, we have to build a foundation. In other words, sitting back and waiting for it to happen with no effort, will produce nothing.

He's saying that it's important to have dreams and goals, but they are meaningless unless you take steps to implement them.
If your goal is to be CEO of your own company by the time you are 30 (the castle in the air)... it will never happen unless you also have a plan (the foundation) about the steps that will get you there.

To me, it means, in order to realise your aspirations or dreams, you will first need to define your parameters sufficiently well and get your basics right.
It urges us not to give up on dreams that seem far-fetched for through determination and perserverance, all things are possible.

we can dream & have dreams as high as the sky can go. but to fulfill these dreams, we must build towards them, by building foundations underneath, to support these dreams into coming true.

When you dream, dream BIG. Now start saving money and getting an education so that you can achieve your dream.

It's good to have high ideals, to strive for perfection in society, but you must work to make these ideals become reality. Don't just dream, do.
