Janie has so many dreams, she, herself, doesn't even know what they are; this shows through all her different journeys in life with her three very different husbands, and her relationship with them. She can never be happy without fulfilling her imaginary dream. Her dream of perfect love. Janie never brings up the mistakes she's made with her former husbands; never even thinks about them let alone mention them, she just keeps on living, waiting for "happiness".
