I'm having lots of weird dreams these days, but not being rich - sadly...

Nope, I don't want to be rich. Those are the most unhappy people of all.
I will preface this by saying I am very happy with what I have. I walk around the lake close to our home and see obscenely large, multi-million dollar houses being built and wonder if the residents are actually as happy as I am. I would never want to go back into the pressure cooker of Corporate America to acquire more.
That said, I have had dreams where we were entertaining friends in big, lavish homes. But I wasn't disappointed when I woke up in our comfortable, middle class home.

I'm quite content. I would have liked to have been rich when I was younger, but my life style pretty much dictated that I would never want to live where all the big money was at. So I made plans to just earn what I needed and a little bit more, so I could be close to nature, lots and lots of nature, and that was more important than anything else. If someone offered to give me a billion dollars, sure I would take it, providing there were no strings attached, and I could still live my own life where and how I wanted. I do not regret the choices I have made, and I'd make them again. OK, I've done a couple of dumb things that I regret, but none of them had anything to do with getting rich or not getting rich.

Not when asleep, but day dreaming, sure.

Sometimes I like to fantasize about what I'd do if I won the lottery BIG.....so far, it's just a fantasy. Sigh.

Absolutely. Not filthy rich, just a few million. Heck, even one million would do. No more constant self-denial, no more worrying about the basics.

How much does one have to have to be considered rich? I presume you are talking about money.

Yes, but you could be miserable in comfort.
I'd love to have a shed load of money.

Not saying I wouldn't want more money but not in the rich category. I would rather just have what I need. Enough to help my son and help fund various animal rescues.Yes, but you could be miserable in comfort.
No thanks …money isn’t everything …..health is the main concern in life
even if I was rich , I couldn’t do anything different as how I live now…..
it’s nice to be well off…….I’ve been, on the top scale , and the lower scale in life
, money is a subject , I wouldnt and don’t like discussing ……

Never. Why dream about something that you know will never happen?
It could if you do the LOTTERY lol
I would like to be able to do whatever I want; go wherever I want; however, don't need the highest class of doing that. So yes, I would like to be modestly rich where I have no needs or worries, financially speaking. I would also like to be able to be more charitable, I just can't spare the dough right now.

Just rich enough to be able to give a nice big thank you to my kids for giving me my comfortable lifestyle since my husband died 19 years ago.

I would not want wealth.
Being rich has never been on any of my lists toward making me happy. Not one. Never even contemplated it until just now. But I do remember in my 30s often saying to my friends, "I'd choose sleeping in a tent with someone I loved over living in a mansion with no one to make me happy."

I also have to ask….what amount constitutes “rich”? I find it to be a nebulous number that always changes….
