Describe Lennie and George's dream for the future.

In Of Mice and Men, Lennie and George are best friends.  Lennie is obviously mentally handicapped and George travels with him and takes care of him.  They dream of one day owning their own farm.  They hope that one day they will be their own bosses and live off of the land.



After calming down, George repeats, at Lennie's request, the story of how they are someday going to get out of the lonely life of itinerant farm laborers and buy a piece of land where they can live by working their own small farm together.



The idea of having their own land and farm excites Lennie very much.  He dreams of taking care of the rabbits and other animals.  George hopes this dream comes true so that he can lead a "better" life.
