What Is A Dream?
A dream is an idea of how something should be,
Regardless if it comes to fruition.
A visionary is a dreamer that actually does it,
A realist is a dreamer that acts on results
Of a feasibility study, not a spell from a cult,
And many dreamers are talkers, not doers.
Fantasies are things the fantasizer creates
With his or her imagination,
With awareness that it is a fantasy,
Not a reality, and when people get lost
In their fantasies,
Delusions are usually the cost.

Comment on 'What's a dream'
Hi Nightlight,
Always when I hear or read the word of fantacy ie. 'Dream', I remember the song 'An American Dream' which goes like this:
Hi, Hi American Dream; where you can travel through without any means; when it's as easy as closing your eyes....! (That's the song)
In your poem you have very clearly defined the words ''Dream', 'Dreamer' and 'a realist'. The ending as you say is quite right as delusion is the cost that someone needs to pay when he is lost.
