99 Cent Dreams

I saw this in Red Hook, Brooklyn en route to IKEA.

Yeah, I know it’s just a “catchy” name for a dollar store. But seeing this made me think…what if you really COULD buy a dream at the dollar store? Like a real dream, not a material “Oh my god this imitation Tupperware is a DREAM, it keeps my food fresh for so long and it’s so CHEAP”. A dream like “Climb Mt.FIji” or “Vacation in the Outback”. Would it mean as much if you could get it for 99 cents at a wholesale store? Probably not. So the allure of dreams….is that they are that, dreams…? What if they come true, was it ever a dream? What if a store like this DID exist? If it did I know exactly what I’d get -  the 3 x 99 cent toilet paper and the pink and white unicorn….what what would you guys buy?
