hopes
Dreams for tomorrow
Hopes are desires for things to happen, especially things you believe possible but can't control: She had hopes of becoming a doctor.
To hope is to want something and believe it might occur: I hope you're feeling better.
Hope without an object is optimism itself—the capacity to expect good outcomes: Don't give up hope.
To pin your hopes on something is to stake your expectations on it.
