<p>Jean-Louis, thank you for the piece by Senge that helps a lot. And your comment fits in nicely too. Lots of progress on my understanding of the distinction. </p>

<p>Hi Autry,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for raising this question!</p>
<p>Senge's piece on Deeper Aspirations seems to correspond with what I would try to describe as our dreams.</p>

<p>Here is a short thought. </p>
<p>I am not sure what hopes are. But I am clearer about what 'hope' is. For me, hope is the idea that tomorrow can be better than today. I think that in order to dream we need hope. It is not enough, but I need it to begin. </p>
<p>So perhaps hopes are the concrete things that can make tomorrow better than today. I hope that this will happen. I hope that I can do this. They are the things that can make the idea of hope into something concrete. </p>

<p>A dream is a destination. It is a place in our mind. The actions that are represented by our hopes can lead us toward the dream, but the hopes are not the dream. </p>
<p>Just musing. But nice question. </p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Good question and I am happy with responses given. For me, I think "hope" is a situation or something you believe will change for the better. It could be the political, economic,...global environment which could make easier your dreams to happen. Hope is then external opportunity wished so that you keep faith in what you want to undertake towards your dreams to be effective in the future.…</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">For instance my dream is about my kids having a briallant studdies in Burundi. My hopes are that peace will be reovered soon and that Burundi the quality of teaching will be improved in Burundi.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">So, for me, the two words are complementarily but are not the same.</span></p>

<p>Just sharing Aleta Peterson's thoughts on fb. Surely enhances the discussion (^_^) Thanks Aleta:</p>
<p></p>
<p>"For me, hope is based on reality, it is limited to a particular situation and outcome while dreams allow me to imagine and go beyond limitations. Dreams inspire me to go get what I want but when I start to act on my dream, I can only hope that things turn out a specific way"</p>

<p>Thank YOU for your valuable thoughts...just want share some additional thinking from Pierre and Emanuel</p>
<p>Pierre:</p>

<p>Thank YOU for your valuable thoughts...just want share some additional thinking from Pierre and Emanuel</p>
<p>Pierre:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>"I thought further on how we use words without much attention.. hope or dream.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Hope</span><span>: "feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best"</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Dream</span><span>: "a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep." but also (6th definition on</span> <a href="http://dictionary.com/"><span>dictionary.com</span></a><span>): "an aspiration; goal; aim"</span></p>
<p>So if the dream is the aspiration, where does hope stand? On my way home, I was thinking hope is the best we can do for a movie playing out in front of us and despite of us ... but not enough to make our dreams happen."</p>
<p></p>
<p>and </p>
<p>Emanuel:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>"I thought also about that part where we were trying to figure out the connection hope and dream. Coming from a christian </span>background my subconscious went straight to a part of the bible where hope was use as a word in the definition of faith.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span> </span>For that moment, this made me see hope as a some kind of wishful thinking and Whereas Dream as the bigger picture."</p>
