I think the "American Dream" has just transformed into this idealistic mentality, where you have everything you want and it is perfect, which we all know is impossible. The key to the "American dream" is being happy with yourself. Many people who in our eyes might have achieved this so called dream are often some of the most unhappiest people on the planet. Think of all the famous celebrities who end their lives by overdose and suicide. Money, possessions, success, infinite sexual encounters mean nothing if you hate life.
