Dream. Dream a lot. Dream all the damn time. Dream of what is possible for you, dream of what is probable. Never stop dreaming.
For when you stop dreaming, regret slips in. Regret is a killer. Never allow regret to overrun your dreams.
The best defense against regret is to actively pursue your dreams...except that one where you're falling. Don't follow that one, you'll probably get hurt.
Follow the ones where you accomplish great things, overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, explore exotic places, make the world a better place.
Don't chase after the dreams in which you become the tyrannical dictator of a country though, or the dream in which you finally get your revenge on everyone who ever wronged you in the slightest way - leave that crap in the realm of fantasy, or better yet, learn to let that go - for those are the type of dreams that lead to even worse regret than the simple regret of never visiting the Smithsonian or learning to play the guitar.
In fact, if you're having malevolent dreams perhaps you should start thinking about seeking professional help, maybe some counseling.
But still, dream - dream of good stuff, you know, butterflies and unicorns and becoming a best-selling author of funny yet educational children's books, that kind of thing.
