It would help to find out if you really want something if you could try it out first. Maybe there is a way you can simulate your next dream for a month and then constantly ask yourself "Do I really like this?" "Can I live this way for the next 30 years?" After all, if you can't live with it for 30 years, it probably isn't a real dream, but just a quick lust of sorts. Supposedly, if what Steve says works, then if you really do find it is a dream, then you should be able to figure out how to sustain it.
