I don't know what everyone else's is but mine is to have a good, high paying job, a house of my own and to have paid of my mortgage by the age of 50 so that I can retire with a good pension.
Obviously that is just a dream because I'm a woman, I'll never achieve as high a wage as a man with the exact same job as me, unless I find out and take the company to court or my boss happens to be a) nice b) a woman or c) previously charged for discriminatary pay.
I will not be able to pay of my student debts, nevermind a mortgage, and I'll never be able to afford a house of my own so I'll have to find friends who aren't complete arseholes or a man rich enough to pay or who has luckily inherited a house.
My pension will probably be pilfered by government /taxman/ scheming company. And as for retirement, well I'll probably be dead before then.
I'd like to have children but to be honest the education system is shite.
SO actually my dream is to move to another country with my bloke and get a nice house in a safe place for our kids.

To live in a state in which everyone is equal, where ethnic majorities/minorities have equal rights, no discrimination of any kind. Proportional representation, strong government that is primarily concerned with sorting out this mess of a country and not on their international prestige. A country that has the best housing and social welfare, has zero unemployment and produces the best educated kids in the world.
None of the above is impossible, it's just a case of whether our leaders give us them quietly on their own terms, or leave it until it is too late and fascists like the BNP are running the show because it is no wonder our best and brightest leave in their droves.

I always thought it was similar to the American Dream, if such a thing exists. Anyway at the next election the Labour scum will be banished from office and people in this country can get back to working for a living, instead of relying on the state.

Most British people dream of leaving. I did and have! So sad that our once proud, efficient and innovative country has been mismanaged, sold off, broken down and pissed away by an inept Labour government and a British public who no longer care to do anything for anyone or anything but themselves as individuals.

The final and irrevocable removal of the Labour party from the British/English political scene. Oh, and Blair hanging from the railings of the Palace of Westminster for treason.

No dreams here, Thatcher privatised them in the 80's, they've since gone into receivership.

In order to dream of anything profound (other then sex), it is necessary to admit to the existence of a higher power which created the ideal of which you dream.
Since the Socialists in England have used the power of the state to enforce atheism in that country for the past 30 years, it is unlikely that many Limeys still believe in a God, or any other higher power (higher then the State that is) and thus, it is unlikely that these shells of people still possess the ability to dream of anything profound.
