I do not know but I have a few and some are autistic dreams:
Ballet dancer
Alternative dancer
Work at a zoo
Circus performer like Circus soreli
Retail job in a funky retro vintage store
Party planner
Work in a craft store and pack up little craft boxes for people
Florist
Have a vegan Cafe that sells cute things or a chocoliter
Make vegan passteries in Paris
Fashion designer even in terms of just like am ethical jewellery line or something like I especially like too gumboots and umbrellas and like things like beanies
Have a company that packs up little boxes of cute things to give to sick or unfortunate children or teens or even adults, someone you are free to steal that if you were ever able to finance it imagine getting a little care package of cute things for a child, teen or even adult. It could have toiletries, stationery, sensory toys, candles, a plushie, jewellery, candy for people not feeling good or in need
And my other autistic dreams are:
To be an actress but I do not think I would enjoy being famous, I would just like maybe to try a small role or do a voice for an animation like a cartoon.
To be a paramedic or a doctor. I do not think I could do it but I love shows where they rescue people and help them.
And then maybe like costume design or cinematography or set design or something in films but I do not think I could do that.
These last three I am not really sure I could do them or all of these dreams but I have talents in some of these areas
The other one I forgot that I love is equestrian or show jumper of horses of course.
 
I don't work a traditional job, but there's sorta "creative" goals I've got.

Two things:

1. Make art that people will really like

2. Make small video games that people will like. Short things, made just by me.

AKA I just want to make stuff that can make others happy. And really game-dev stuff was a childhood dream to start with.

I dont have anything completed yet. Sorta. I mean I've finished some art stuff which I've shown here before. But the game-dev stuff, I don't have any solo projects that are playable yet. Learning the basics, that's what I'm doing now. It ain't easy.


Back when I did used to work, I *really* wanted to find some sort of job working with dogs & cats, and then I got a job as a veterinary assistant. But that ran into... uh... problems. Probably best if I dont describe that.

Working at something like a "pet hotel" (there's a few around the area) would also have been nice, but it turns out that my allergies kick in once the pet density has reached 5 cats per square inch.

So that was disappointing. Though honestly with my back problems, it wouldn't have ended well in any case. Big dogs are strong!

But hey, I've got two dogs here at home AND a bunch of fish, maybe that's plenty of pet related activity anyway.

The job I have now. Drive around in my car and deliver meals to elderly folks. I feel lucky. Just getting to my first anniversary there.
 
King of Sweden. That guy has such a cushy job and he gets to wear silly hats.

I honestly wish I knew. I love to cook, but no noisy kitchens please (I'll take one or two sous chefs (and sous for them) that I know I can move around a kitchen efficiently with, but no restaurants. So ... maybe personal catering? I could take jobs as I wish, and I can cook practically anything.
.
Other than that, just some freelance software design stuff, nothing too big, just some windfalls here and there.
 
I already had my dream job, used all my skill and education. all that was missing was an opportunity for promotion.
retired content I gave it my best.

Archeologist Supervisor. I have gotten too old to do much digging, so I'd like to just jump in the hole when they have found something interesting.

Colonial Marine. Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to fight space monsters.

A User Experience/User Interface designer - in lay terms, someone who designs for the web, apps, etc and makes sure the product is user-friendly.
 
While I would have liked to make it in biological research, I had my dream job in pharmaceutical manufacturing making material to benefit the health care of Americans. I enjoyed using my skills in process testing and optimization to ensure that product will consistently meet its specifications for quality, strength, and purity.

I had my dream job of exploration Geology-Geophysics. After a four month nightmare project on an island off New Guinea, I was so burned out and had repeated bouts with malaria, they decided to let me go. I subsequently work for another company doing petroleum and natural gas work, but they went out of business.

What was the project?

It was Lihir Island, which is now one of the top ten gold producers in the world. My job was to map out the deposit underground using electrical geophysics.

At the time, I was living in a converted packing crate located in the caldera of a live volcano (where you couldn't go 100 yards in a straight line without stepping into a boiling water creek or spring, a steam vent, or boiling mud pit), with earthquakes once or twice a week, practically no communication with the outside world, utilizing a crew of local islanders who didn't speak English but didn't matter because they were usually whacked out on betel nut by noon, and where I had to come up with the term "Disaster du Jour."

Just to be clear, that was the good part. The descriptions start getting pretty bad after that.

Like I said, I was pretty well burned out after that.

What kind of souvenir do you bring back from a trip like that? Malaria.

That is cool, it is good to have dreams or aspirations.
I am kind of not really thinking or knowing whether I could do these dreams either.
They are just dreams.
I myself just want to be happy
But I love ur dreams. They are awesome
