What would you do if your dreams came true?

All of us have dreams of some kind.  For some of us, it's simply being able to pay the bills.  For others, it's that mega-mansion you've seen on TV.  I have plenty of dreams of my own, but I think there's something a lot of people are missing about this whole thing.  What would you do if your dreams DID come true?  What if you didn't have to work anymore and could do whatever you want? I think I've found my answer and I doubt many others have come to the same conclusion.

I would continue writing, even if I hardly sold a book.  But that's not all.  If money was no object, I would probably stay in college forever.  I would obtain every degree that interests me, and trust me there are a lot, and while doing that I would keep my mind fresh enough to continue writing at my best.  Some would say I'd be chasing youth, but they'd be wrong. At the core of it, I'm chasing knowledge, even the ever-elusive 'wisdom.'

And now for some clarification.  I would not go on to get doctorates in everything.  I think that amount of dissertations would drive me nuts and sap any creativity I had left.  No, I'd pursue engineering degrees, science degrees, business and finance degrees, anything I thought would be helpful to my writing.  I don't think I'll ever need that Mc-Mansion because I'd be spending all of my time studying and trying to become a better writer.  Heck, maybe I'd even blog more.  One thing is for sure, I would not blow it on material things.  That is, unless you consider a yacht material...

So there you have it.  What would you do if your dreams came true?
