The thing about dreams… @SBI winners announced

The thing about dreams…

Last week while cleaning I found my dreams list from 2014 which prompted the post Are you a dreamer? and the associated game of guessing which of the 76 I had completed in the last four years.

Please note that like humans dreams change, they need to adapt to fit in with the new you as you change and adapt to what life throws at you. So lets have a look back over these dreams as I have now updated them with achievements, changes and completed scratch that idea.
I hope you get a laugh out of it and take some time to go back over your dreams as dreams of past can be amusing at the best of times.

Dreams list updated for real life! I apoligise in advance for the shitty formatting but you add anything in and it breaks the numbers, which breaks my head! There are photos at the end and winners I promise.


  1. New Bedroom Suite Nope still have the same one I bought when I was in my early twenties, I have bought a new mattress, but in all honesty what does it matter what it looks like so long as it works.
  2. New TV Unit #DONE Only cause I never had one and we needed one for the new house
  3. New Computer Desk/Set Up Still waiting! – TBC this year sometime as I will be working from home with the new bub, joys of being an accountant.
  4. Ducati 600cc – Yellow Nope, not ever, safety first now, I do love motorbikes through so maybe will just ride a friends around the block once in a while for fun
  5. Electric Hybrid Car with cruise control/back support – Automatic Not yet, I have the same car I brought back in 2009 which was not a hybrid.
  6. Parachute - Made to order (Green/Pink) OMG I miss parachuting, but not a high priority now so probabaly never, unless we win lotto money and I can also afford my own plane!
  7. Jump out of a Helicopter (In Europe) Just for the weightlessness feeling when you jump out, I almost jumped out of a helicopter in OZ but was too sick so missed out 
  8. Diamond Earrings 3/4 carat My hubby @shai-hulud offered to buy these for me, even picked some out but I thought of a million better ways to spend our money so said no.

  10. Go to Outer Space - Feel weightlessness and come home! Lotto money wish, although much more doable than when I first put it on the list.

Now for the winners!



To win the 50% of the SBD you needed to guess all 15 I completed but to be in with a fighting chance for the @steembasicincome shares you only need to guess a minimum of five correct answers. While no one came close to all 15 we did 5 people get over 5 right:


@floxycool – 7 out of 15 correct
@kamiikazer – 8 out of 15 correct
@maverickinvictus – 7 out of 15 correct
@viking-ventures – 7 out of 15 on her second try, 3 the first time
@bmotives – 7 out of 15 correct

I had promised one @steembasicincome share but said I would consider up to three, given no one has won the SBD I will give away three via a random generator:

The Winners ARE!!!
