The moment another person says "I see it too," the dream graduates from private fantasy to something with weight and consequence. Consider how a startup founder's wild idea stays stuck in their head as impractical daydreaming until one conversation with a co-founder suddenly makes it feel like an actual plan worth pursuing—the dream didn't change, but shared belief transformed its reality.
