Yeah, but there is that very important part of dreams/hopes/expectations providing the much-needed motivatation for doing the work. Without them you are just stuck in the near mode and are slowly crawling towards the nearest local maxium (e.g. turnips—warning, the link is NSFW).
Most people never achieve their dreams. Would you rather be happy or motivated, if you could only choose one? What would you wish for everyone else? I know my answer.
Dreaming is a fuzzy word—are you saying that desires are bad for you? Or hopes? Or maybe expectations of good things?
I take it as “far-mode, unspecific dreams/hopes/expectations are problematic if the agent doesn’t do the work to tie it to near-mode specifics”.

Inflated desires/hopes/expectations, I guess.
That sounds… bleak.
Who determines what’s “inflated”?
