How social status shapes our dreams of the future and inhibits the
lives we envision for ourselves Most of us understand that a
person's place in society can close doors to opportunity, but
anything is possible when we dream about what might be, or so we
think. Dreams of a Lifetime reveals that what and how we dream-and
whether we believe our dreams can actually come true-are tied to
our social class, gender, race, age, and life events. Karen Cerulo
and Janet Ruane argue that our social location shapes the seemingly
private and unique life of our minds. We are all free to dream
about possibilities, but not all dreamers are equal. Cerulo and
Ruane show how our social position ingrains itself on our mind's
eye, quietly influencing the nature of our dreams, whether we
embrace dreaming or dream at all, and whether we believe that our
dreams, from the attainable to the improbable, can become
realities. They explore how inequalities stemming from social
disadvantages pattern our dreams for ourselves, and how
sociocultural disparities in how we dream exacerbate social
inequalities and limit the life paths we believe are open to us.
Drawing on a wealth of original interviews with people from diverse
social backgrounds, Dreams of a Lifetime demonstrates how the study
of our dreams can provide new avenues for understanding and
combatting inequality-including inequalities that precede action or
outcome.
