First, I don't think it's possible to dream too big, I do think it's possible to not recognize what is needed for those dreams to happen. I agree with Barjor that aspirations are the steps to achieving dreams. I need to know what is needed for the dream to happen, then aspire to have the skills and consistency needed. If I'm dreaming of something lots of other people also want, then I have to accept there is some luck involved. Actually, I guess there is something about dreaming too big and that would be if you stop having fun on the journey. No point in dreaming of something, if you aren't going to enjoy the road there. :-)
Fun is definitely important but I think its hard to balance a difficult goal with having a lot of fun. It should be enjoyable but I'm sure there are going to be moments that are downright difficult, but I also think working through moments like that and still wanting to achieve your goal can be a valuable lesson. But if you NEVER have fun, you probably need to reevaluate!
I'm having the hardest time with goals/dreams/aspirations right now. I've been sitting at the computer for hours trying to write down what I want to do and how to get there. All I've done is come up with a big list of "well I'd like to do that" spanning years into the future with no steps getting there. Man this is hard!
