I am both equally annoyed by the "I'm following my dreams without any plan" crowd, and the "I'm working 9-5, and want my validation by shooting down the dreamers" crowd.

Both are looking for validation by not being the other; instead of working to be what they want to be.

Following your dreams is not about quitting reality and coasting to some utopia of lazy freedom. It's about working really damn hard, but doing it in a venture that's internally fulfilling and having an achievable skill set and roadmap to get there.

I would rephrase the thread title to "Are people who create their dreams a bit out to lunch?", and the answer is certainly no.
