Why do dreams sometimes fail?

Dreams fail for many reasons. I know that when I was in middle school and in part of elementary school, I was in the spelling bee for many years. For about three years straight, I would make it past the first round in class. And then for the second round, I'd be in the top three finalists. But I could never get over the hump. I'd always end up in the top three in the school, but I'd never get past that. I was always pretty good at spelling. I think I just got nervous or something. Now that I look back on it, I don't think I put in enough effort. I always relied on natural "spelling talent" to get me past the first round. I think if I tried harder, I could've gotten farther.
Dreams fail for people because people don't give their all out effort for it. Dreams are sort of these far-out things that you always want to do, but you just sort of push it into the future. You're like, "I wanna be an astronaut." But then you're like, "You know, I can always do that later." We dream about things, but sometimes we don't take the necessary steps to achieve those dreams sometimes. Maybe we don't think we're actually capable of it; maybe we just don't want to take the effort. Maybe we just don't think our dreams are actually possible. But whatever your reason is, dreams do sometimes fail.
