Julia - This is a wonderful start. I can identify with many of your ideas. Some things really jumped out at me, like when you wondered "Do dreams change once you achieve them?" and "Is the idea of a dream better than the actual achievement of the dream?"
ReplyDeleteOne problem I see is that you are divided on two different definitions of your Big Idea. I think you need to focus on either "Dreams" as those things that happen when you are asleep, OR focus on "Dreams" as in goals and hopes.
Each of those definitions has a multitude of sub-topics and ideas you could discover.
