Can someone do the maths on how many dreams we actually need to fly with those 6 weights? Are all weights the same or does for example society weigh heavier on some people? Can you use hopes as balloons as well or only dreams? Do hopes have the same lifting power? What if one of your dreams is to fly and then when you do it, the flying dream balloon pops and you fall down again? So many questions...

Good sentiment, but wouldn't the string attached to the balloon be straight?

He clearly jumped up into the air and hopes his dreams carry him.
But with all the weight attached to him he'll just come crashing down, the dream balloon will burst and he'll be buried under those weights.
I mean, he obviously could've cut them easily if only for the right tool but hey, this is r/GetMotivated with the most absurd illustrations.

The doubts and potential failure wouldn’t hurt if one lacked the dreams to begin with

I agree with this sentiment. 1 reason can be enough to make you hold on but this is a very lousy picture to make the point. How about you turn the balloon into a zeppelin ? cause it has to be a massive or important dream to overcome that much adversity.

There may be an off-panel wind blast that is keeping the man buoyant. Alternatively, we can’t tell from the panel whether he’s falling, climbing, or staying altitude neutral.
This panel gives more questions than answers.

Can't imagine anything in this moment. Work sleep eat seems to be all there is.

Assuming that man has a tiny body and normal head and estimating the weigths to be roughly the same size as the head, we can arrive at an estimate of 15000 dreams/balloons.
The volume of a male head is roughly 1329 cc. 1329 cc of lead weighs 15.1 kg. There are 6 weights, so we get roughly 90 kg. This is surprisingly low, and I assume the real weigth would be much more. We can assume the man also weighs 90 kg to offset the lead probably weighing more because of not being round. So probably something like 200 kg if we round up a bit. According to this you need about a litre of helium for each gram you want to lift, so you need 200K litres of helium. According to the same source, we can divide that number by 15 to get an approximation for the amount of balloons we need, which is 13333. To stay on the safe side I would go with at least 15K balloons.

It would sincerely be appreciated if you could sign and/or share this petition to help reopen the Tiffany Valiante (2015) case which was covered on the newest season of Unsolved Mysteries (Volume 3, Episode 1), "Mystery at Mile Marker 45" on Netflix. Having justice served is one reason to keep you up.

I hope the dream was not to be a cartoonist.
