Should Dreams be subject to Reality or should Reality be subject to Dreams?

Would you rather spend your reality chasing your dreams which are manifestations of all that you wish you had or would you rather dream about how you wish reality were and live your reality?
Both ways, you end up losing...
If you chase your dreams, (lets face it, they aren't gonna be realistic, they are called 'dreams' for a reason!) you are gonna be miserable in your reality because you can never truly be happy with what you have. If however, you do realize one of your dreams, it's reality and not what you want anymore...you already have another dream in your head!
If your dreams are subject to reality, you'll always be unhappy because you're always trying to imagine what reality should be like and so will spend all your waking hours always wishing things were the way you wanted them to be! Nothing ever is good enough the way it is!
So what do you choose?

Its human nature. As long as one doesnt possesses something, one craves for it. As soon as one gets that thing or achieves it the charm of achieving it is gone. Something very natural and logical. So is the case with dreams. As long as you have not achieved it, it remains a dream. But as soon as u realise your dream you set to have another dream, another goal. I think thats why they say life goes on. And that is how 'time' is related to it.
Here, I would like to draw an analogy to the life cycle of butterfly- Eggs turn into larva, larva into pupa, pupa into butterfly and then the butterfly lays eggs and so on and so forth. Not every larva turns into butterfly, some die being larva. So do dreams. Dreams(larva) when transformed to reality(butterfly) then makes one enable to create another dream(laying eggs) and this cycle goes on.
