What does it mean when someone calls you a dreamer?

Being called a dreamer isn't necessarily a bad thing, so don't worry!

Usually, when someone calls you a dreamer, it implies that you have especially high goals set for yourself. It has a negative connotation of being somewhat unrealistic.

For example, if a twelve-year-old tells his mother that he wants to become famous someday by becoming an American Idol, the mother might think of her son as a dreamer. Another example would be a child who constantly gazes out the window during class, pondering about the day when he will become an astronaut and go to the moon. The teacher might consider him/her to be somewhat of a dreamer.

If you are asking this question because someone called you a dreamer, don't let it get to you. So what if someone thinks your hopes and aspirations are unrealistic! Just imagine a world without dreamers. No one would be motivated to accomplish anything, and there would be no heros, no leaders, no inventors, and certainly no astronauts. How boring. How ordinary. How...logical.
