How much would you take to give up your Dream life?

**Seeker** · 02-12-2004 06:24 PM

OK, here's the deal:
Someone comes up and offers you a large amount of cash, but if you accept it, you will no longer dream.

Just blackness from the time you lie down until you wake up in the morning.

How much would he have to offer before you would take it. And share your reasons why.

I would rather be homeless and live on the street than give up dreaming.You can always escape with dreaming.

**nightowl** · 02-12-2004 09:02 PM

I agree with frozen. Dreaming to me....is like escape from reality and a vacation from all the emotional pain. A place where the impossible can be possible, where anything can happen. I'd never give my ability to dream away and my value of dreaming will be worth a lot more when I become a master in LD'ing. People don't know what they are missing....

dreaming is not an escape from reality for me..it is reality..dreaming is not an escape from emotional pain for me..it brings more emotional pain..dreaming is not the ultimate vacation..it can be the ultimate pain in the ass. Aye, but I would not give it up anyway. For all the goods thigns that I have there, make up for all the bad things.. Im diffirent..probally yes..but thats the way it is(for me)

Well... I cant answer the poll cuz i would want like a billion dollars to take away my dream life so i could invest for ppl to make some super real virtual reality
hehehe

**Berserk Exodus** · 02-13-2004 02:12 AM

Why do that when you can dream train and make the billion yourself?

Can anyone say Donald Trump?

I would never give up my dream life unless someone thretened to kill me or someone close to me. My dreams are as real as reality so it's like a whole other life where I can do what ever I want.

**Ginko** · 02-13-2004 05:39 AM

I sold it for the 100 mil...

hehe

its time to retire

**Crucible** · 02-13-2004 06:16 AM

The funny thing about money is the more you have does not mean the happier you are. Even if I suddenly had 100 billion dollars I would be right where I was before within a year. I would have money, but be used to it. It is like when you get a new computer. It is really great for a month, but then you get used to it and want more.

**CocoDan** · 02-14-2004 02:36 AM

Well said man.

**Alric** · 02-14-2004 03:38 AM

I would take a 100 million in a second without a second thought. I am pretty sure that amount of money would make me more than happy for the rest of my life. Wouldn't have to worry about work, could do whatever you want, get what you want.

People live all the time some without ever remebering a single dream. They say money doesn't make you happy, but the things you can do with it can.

**RedStarSoldier** · 02-14-2004 03:59 AM

To quote a guy from Just For Laughs:

"People say money doesn't buy happiness. I wouldn't know, I don't have any money. But one thing I do know, is that poverty doesn't buy happiness.

**moe** · 02-14-2004 03:57 PM

I would take the 100 mil. easy. I would make my dreams come true, and make more money to make more of my and other people's dreams come true. Of course, that beening said after 1 lucid dream

**Kaniaz** · 02-14-2004 05:30 PM

I wouldn't.

Just think of the tax on all that!

**will.i.am** · 02-14-2004 05:33 PM

No one can take your dreams away, that and your knowledge.

**Kaniaz** · 02-14-2004 08:20 PM

We all know that, but we're thinking what would happen it they could.

**Uriel** · 02-26-2004 11:20 AM

I couldn't do it. I've only had a lifetime total of 3 lucid dreams, but there is just too much potential there. I also enjoy my normal dreams too much. It'd kind of be like if someone offered me a huge sum of money for my right arm. Don't think I wouldn't be very tempted though.
