I think you're missing the point. One can love the idea of being rich more than the idea of owning a business. Therefore, one's first dream can be, well, being rich.
Why do you feel the need to criticize OPs list instead of participating in the thread and posting some of your dreams? Here, you can criticize my list if it makes you feel good.
I am not going to criticize your list but I am going to criticize your absence of a sense of humor.
Here, watch:
You have no sense of humor. I think that that is unfortunate. I think it would be better if you had a sense of humor. I enjoy judging you for your absence of one.
Your absence is also a lack.

You're right. We should definitely share our dreams. I have this recurring one where Scarlett Johansson tattoos 'Christmas' on her left thigh, 'New Year's' on her right thigh, and invites me to visit her between the holidays.
Thank you for inviting me to share. I feel so unburdened.

That was supposed to be a joke? Yea, definitely must be my sense of humor that's off.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

What you said is right for the majority of people and it would probably be the same for me.
It is not a list of goals to accomplish in a particular order.
If it was a list of dreams to realise in a particular order it would be really difficult.

Five dreams that I'd like to realize (Importance order) :
1.I want to become rich. I'd like to own some millions of Euros or more.
I prefer to own billions of Euros but some millions is sufficient for someone like me because I don't want to buy expensive things such a manor , expensive clothes , yacht etc...
If I can win some billions it would be better than win some millions because more money = more business opportunities. A fool and his money are easily parted.
Meaning if you do not know how to earn money, you will not have long, even if you come into a lifetime amount.
The fact that you are talking about buying anything means if you get the money your talking about it won't last long.
VIOCJIT's ANSWER :
I'd like to invest a part of money won to win money.
I don't want to use all money.
I don't want an expensive lifestyle.
You said : The fact that you are talking about buying anything means if you get the money your talking about it won't last long.
I said I don't want to buy expensive things like expensive clothes , manor , yacht etc... because I'm not interested by these.
I didn't said I want to buy something. I was speaking about not to buy expensive things.
Quote:2.Create my own business.
Why not found a business if I can do it ?
If I can do it I'll maybe have the opportunity to create a trading empire to bring me money.
If you are a person who can not sleep unless he has work hard all day 12/16 hours a day 7 days aweek for less than minimum wage for a very long time, then starting a business in a very bad idea
VIOCJIT's ANSWER :
I'm not in this situation.
Quote:3.Being fluent in many languages.
If I can become fluent in many languages it would be possible to speak to people in theirs native language. Speak to anyone in his native language = Better social interactions.
You have to choose. Money corrupts social interactions. Once you have it, It becomes harder to tell who wants to be your friend and who just wants what you have.
Also having a business means 0 time for friends or family unless everyone works in the same company.
VIOCJIT's ANSWER :
I understood yours sayings about people and money. I don't think money corrupt social interactions. I think it is more complicated.
I consider money as a tool usable to obtain goods and services. If people want what you have it is not the fault of money but theirs.
When someone is stabbed to death with a knife ? Do you accuse the knife to be responsible of this murder ?
Of course , having a business = sacrifices for time with family and / or friends.
I have few friends. I don't want children but I have a family.
Quote:4.Learn more science. More science = more knowledge and better understanding of things.
to seek an education is to unlock your potential. I don't know you from anyone else. but I am going to share something an old man told me along time ago. "If you have a chance to obtain 'book learning' or wisdom, always choose wisdom. book learning is important, don't get me wrong, but it is a comody. meaning it only has value when then supply is low and the demand is high. Society is moving away from the wise to the 'smart.' which means there will be a surplus of super smart people who don't have the wisdom to find and hold a job."
Wisdom is not something you can buy like you can buy 'smarts.' Can't go to school for it. It comes from making lots of mistakes and living life the hard way. So yes get your education, but don't hide from hard work or rough times. there is far more to learn in those hard times than there ever could be out of a classroom.
VIOCJIT's ANSWER :
I know wisdom and learn what are in book are different things.
Quote:5.Obtain my driving license to drive cars. It's the easier of my five goals to reach even if it is not easy. I think I must to accomplish this one first.
I would start there too.

Maybe one day.
I'm currently studying Icelandic at the local Scandinavian Cultural Centre. It actually ties into one of My dreams, which is to visit Iceland. For free online lessons, you could get started at Icelandic Online.
My other dreams:
- I want to learn stage magic and am planning to find a local tutor sometime in the not-too-distant future.
- There's a whole bunch of stories I wrote for National Novel Writing Month that I'd like to get published, at least as e-books. (Some editing and pruning is required.)
- 3 more instruments required to complete My collection: E flat sopranino clarinet, bass clarinet, and tenor sax. Planning to have them all sometime in the next 2-3 years.
- Finally, I have a recurring vision of standing on the stage of the Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg. It's a very sharp image: I'm on the apron on the left side of the stage, and I'm holding an alto clarinet. Don't know if I'm there as a soloist with the Symphony or about to sit down and play in a community band gig, but it's uncannily vivid.

My dreams.
I want to live long enough to meet my daughter's children if she has any.
I want to go back to live in my hometown of Mackay one day.
I would buy property there and have an animal hobby farm, a fruit orchard and build a rainforest from scratch.

What you said is interesting but I'd like to know where is your hometown.
I looked where is Mackay with Wikipedia but I can't found anything because many places have the same name in the world.
I found places named Mackay in Canada , Commonwealth of Australia and USA.
Please , say us in which country , state / province can I found this place ?

At one time it may the last place with a shred of sanity left, given the state of affairs in Europe as well as the USA. You might be surprised how often I thought about moving there in the last two years.
