Have you ever destroyed another person's dream?

Question

Was it on purpose or accidently? Why?

Answer 1

Yes. Their dream involved me and at that time I simply could not participate....

I shed many a bitter tear and so did he. Thankfully a little further down the track things changed and the dream came true. Although I get this terrible feeling in my gut when I think of those times and the sheer agony on his face when he thought it would never be.

Answer 2

I'm not sure....but I do know that every action and decision I make effects another person and if by some means a choice I have made in the past inadvertently destroyed that person's dream then the answer to your question would be yes.

Answer 3

No one will ever know if they actually destroy someones dreams other than his/her own dream. However, remember that dream can never be fully destroyed. They can be only altered into other dreams.

P.S.: I have dreams that will never come true, therefore, I have no dream.

Answer 4

Well, I suppose.  I cant tell you how many times I woke up my ex-girlfriend.  She always appreciated it though, because she had to be at work before me anyway

Answer 5

I've destroyed my own dreams.

Answer 6

Yes, by waking them up.

Answer 7

As far as I know, NO, I have never destroyed someones dream.   I am a teacher, of music, and work with kids, and teenagers all the time. I purposely try and encourage and never bring them down.  Sometimes, all the person needs is a little encouragement from you, so this has been my motto.  

At the same time, I would hope people I am around would be strong enough to not let someone else's words or opinions shatter a dream.  And in some cases, the discouraging words is what is needed to light the fire under an individual to go after the dream full force.

Thanks for reading!

Answer 8

My wife's... she chose to marry me.

On my part, it was unintentional.

Answer 9

I'm not responsible for others actions, only the person can destroy their own dreams.

I might interfere with the process, but I don't think I could ever destroy it.

Answer 10

Might have destroyed my ex's dream of being a property owner - he tried to take mine from me, but he failed.  He would have sold it all and bought us a trailer, so we could use the extra money for "stuff." LOL  I don't think so.  Yes, it was on purpose.

Answer 11

It was more vica versa. This person had his dreams which were totally different from my dreams. But I thought that this person shares my dreams, which were but totally different from his dreams. -:) So somehow living with this person we messed up each others dreams for a while, I guess. ..........

Answer 12

Yes. And it difinately was not on purpose.  I wish I could undo it. Its gotta be one of the worst feelings in the world

Answer 13

Not to my knowledge, and I'm not sure if this is even something that I would ever want to find out.
