There are lots of different dimensions on which these vary. I’d note that one is purely imaginary (no human has actually experienced anything like that) while the second is prediction strongly based on past experience. One is far-mode (non-specific in experience, scope, or timeframe) and the other near-mode (specific, steps to achieve well-understood).
Does using the word “values” not sufficiently distinguish from “preferences” for you?
