Daydreams are born out of hope. Hope stimulates us to imagine new forms of action. To be sure, there are also daydreams that flee from reality and quickly melt into thin air. These are much like illusions or wishful thinking. Active hope, by contrast, nourishes those daydreams that are anchored in reality, that form and create the future. Active hope is expressed in a refusal to put up with the badly existing. In its daydreams, this kind of hope is determined to act. Daydreams are ultimately dreams of action. They dream away the badly existing in the interest of a new and better life.
