A dream is an unfocused idea that probably occurs almost exclusively in the right (brain and does not necessarily lead to achievement. Some people prefer to continue dreaming because dreams do not require effort.

In a formal plan, the dream is verbalized as the Vision.
The ideal good you would like to accomplish with your life is your Mission.
Those sound idealistic, but they are an important part of a formal plan. Somehow just writing them down helps organize the dreams into thoughts.
Your goals are what you must logically achieve in order to accomplish your mission and realize your vision.
Your objectives are steps toward achieving the goals and are measurable, achievable, and time have deadlines.
If achieved at the designated times, they will logically lead to the accomplishment of your goals.

Planning brings your imagination into reality. There is a lot of power in it, but it can also be a risk and it can change the pure pleasure of dreaming into work.
