A dream can be defined as a vision of anything
that is possible or desirable to one.   Like bits and pieces of intrigue, dreams lay a path for every person to follow to reach their own point of
fulfillment.  Dreams are perhaps some of the most
important forces that drive people to do things and
work hard.  Most of the time dreams are not the
easiest things to accomplish because they are our
dreams.  They require hard work, dedication, and
persistence in order to receive the desired results.
In the play, A Raisin in the Sun,  written by Lorrain
Hansberry, the characters each have a specific
dream that has to be accomplished in order to reach
a level of happiness and fulfillment which is unachievable by performing any of the everyday
tasks of life.
     Throughout the play, the reader believes that the author reveals Walter as having only one dream: having money.

This liquor store would bring in the money to make his dream come true.  Money was almost the only thing that kept Walter going.  In Walter's mind, money meant more to him than anything "Because it [money] is life, Mama"(1. 2. 833)  This is truly where the reader believes that Walter's dream was to have and make money through the means of Mama's check to invest
in a liquor store.
     Beneatha also had a dream that revolved totally around the check.  For a period of time, the reader believes the only way that Beneatha was going to achieve her dream in becoming a doctor was to get the money from Mama's check.  To Beneatha the check symbolized the only way that she was going to get through medical school.  Her only goal was to become a doctor.  "Ain't many girls decide--...
