It is write up of things I would like to do, learn and achieve in my life. I know that it won’t be possible to realize all of them, but I think there is a value in stating explicitly the dreams we have. When I discussed throughout my life about hypothetical science-fiction scenario of significantly prolonged life (or “immortality”), I couldn’t understand why some people claimed that 200-300 old years life would be boring. There is so much to do, so much to see! Well, nonetheless, there are things I would like to do in this short life. Some of them could be more graspable to me, some are aspirational for underdetermined future, but I won’t be making any classification for this list. I will be updating it with new dreams and hopefully crossing the realized ones too. Order is more or less accidental, but if there are some groups of dreams I could order them in the order I want to achieve them.
