I think you should speak up your dream with passion. Why should your strategy be 'nod a lot,..... with no intent of following it'? I cant live with that very long, having to pretend as if what they said make sense but it's just not true at all.
And no, you shouldn't let their 'down-to-earth advise' to weaken and dampen your determination to achieve your goal. I am sure you may find that some of their concern to be true, but i am confident that even you realise that, you still have that zeal to pursue your dream. So tell them, you have thought of their concern, yet there are ways you can go about it. It might be tough but it's worth every drop of sweat. Tell them, you would rather fail trying, rather than fail not trying at all.
Probably there are some idols you adore for their enthusiasm in pursuing their dreams. Tell your friends about it.
Proclaim your dreams with courage. If your friends keep showering you with wimps and excuses, it's high time to find new friends.
