Seven Rainbows so far trying for da Dream. 60+ tries - no love.
Koala to everyone.

Of course there's no love. It's not in the market at the moment.
Main GCID: GregDarcy Secondary: GregDarcyToo All gems friends spoken for. Happy to accept friends for party hats. I blame Apple's auto incorrect for all my typos. I actively discourage challenges. All challengers are unfriended.
Thank you for beginning the goal- sharing post and for all the contributions! Congratulations, Dragonmagic, and to those who have recently hatched a long-awaited dragon, patiently compiled gems or food, or carefully decorated an island! I've been working on leveling-up dragons as they're required for breeding, hatching missing dragons in my park, and my patience regarding gems lately, using members' posts to keep me from rushing the hatching process as deadlines approach... It's a process! A special thanks to all the witty remarks and puns that fly around. Speaking of... did I miss a poem for the release of the Dream dragon?
- To display one of each dragon and one egg pedestal. - To distribute these dragons on islands with their respective boosts so that all the habitats with their different maximums fill up at a similar pace. - To slowly level up all my dragons to Level 20 (I rank them according to their boosted earning rates, and all dragons level up together, even the lowest earning Metal Dragon) currently levelling up from Level 17 to 18. - As a result of the constant quest for levelling up, I rarely have more than 5 million DC for long. The money and food come and go quickly! - To hatch seconds of each dragon, but these may be kept in the Hibernation Cave if I have no space for them, they are currently low priority. These are levelled up to 10 and sent to the Fountain of Youth.
I think there's some purpose in trying to level up the dragons all the way, just so that there's a long-term goal to look towards (even if it may never be attained). The new dragons (and getting seconds) are short-term goals that keep us entertained and busy.
GCID: rionhow Thanks to ElektronX for my Light Rift avatar!
My patience finally came to an end and I decided that I had to get the Dream dragon today. (The only one I didn't have.) I kept speeding up my fails (only one Rainbow luckily) and finally got it. I will let the breeding and incubation processes occur naturally, though. I think that I spent roughly 200 gems. Not that much, taking everything into account.
Chasing, and fulfilling a dream for only 200 gems? Awesome! Gratz.
I have mini goals, and they align w/ my personal liking of particular dragons. If you visit my park, you will see I have displayed mostly Epics and Limiteds.
From the start, my long term goal is/was to have an island fill w/ Sakura (6). That goal is sort of slipping away. An island fill w/ Lotus (12) is something that I have thought of doing lately.
I am okay w/ not having every dragon on display at the same time though I do have at least 1 of each, except for Beard. I am okay w/ not having every egg pedestal on display. Basically I am okay w/ many things...BUT
I am not okay w/ having a goal and wont be able fulfill it. So far I have met all the goals, ie. 3 Moonstruck, 4 Sprout..etc, "knock on wood". So I am very frugal w/ my gems, just in case I need them.
I have 4 Dreams in my heart, and have yet realized any.
Gotten 3 out of the 5 new golden hybrids, missing Sulfur, and Arctic.
Great topic. My goals are similar to some others above
To light up that Dragonarium even if just briefly. For me, it's also more fun to strive for completion than to have it (based the three nanoseconds that I did before Dream plus 5 new.)
Adult, turbo baby and egg of every non-gemstone dragon. Adult and egg of gemstones. To achieve that again after release of new dragons, I have 13 more breeding goals.
All eggs on display. Every building and decoration on display somewhere (Tower Hollow's in storage for now).
All turbo babies on display in habitats corresponding to the little ball over their heads.
A habitat's worth of most epic dragon on display. I need to get and fill a 5th treasure habitat and a dream habitat, plus breed another sprout. Mostly for symmetry and other design reasons, I have tweaked that for dragons in the Sun and Olympus habs and have two habs worth of Apocalypse and Leap Year.
Currently feeding dragons up to level 17, after crowning all Elemental Dragons and Century.
To max out habitats. Currently saving for the one at 250 gem price point, so I can display the dream.
Keeping DC at around 2M to be able to quickly buy any new island that might be released.
For islands to make me happy when I look at them. When I get the dream habitat, I will finally turn to Easter Island (which I thought would be for Sprouts but changed my mind.)

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for everyone sharing their goals. I thought it would be nice to see how others thought about what they wanted to strive for and none have disappointed. Koala to all
Looking around and enjoying life!

Per FB, the Wizards are giving us additional habitat slots at levels 37, 39 and 43 and there are also additional bonus habitats that can be purchased with gems:
Isn't it wonderful that we can all enjoy our dragons differently? Dragonmagic has achieved his goal of all dragons to. Level 17 and that's no mean feat, as food at that level is extremely expensive.
My ultimate goal is to have two of everything except the gem dragons, of which I'm happy with one. I achieved my goal for a very brief period - until the Dream dragon came onto the scene, but besides hunting for the final (temporarily) dragon, I like to fill my habitats with dragons whose colours please me, and appealing personalities.
I visit other islands and sometimes borrow design elements from others.
I must say that I find Monica Bunny's Islands very beautiful. Some habitats are full of identical dragons, proudly wearing crowns. I don't think there is any spot on her islands where colours conflict or she hasn't thought carefully about habitat and decoration placement. So rewarding to wander from island to Island. Thank you Monica for that!

Cecilia my jaw dropped at your Mistletoe collection. That's some serious koala. I barely had time to get two of em without an egg.

What was nice about having the habitats increased to 63 was I had a couple in storage and it allowed me to place one without having to buy any of the new ones yet and still have a couple more there to possibly place if I can find room. Koala to all

Yep, I did the exact same thing.
Placed my Dream and pulled out a spare Sun and a Moon... for now.
OMG it really does exist! I was starting to thing that this Dream dragon is a variation of the mirage dragon. So after many many many tries and a totally silly amount of gems i just got this:
YEAHHHHHHHHH Koala to all of you PS got it with mirage and malachite
