This I believe:
I believe in dreams. Whether they are big or small, impossible or plausible, realistic or imaginary, dreams are what keep humans on a forward moving track. They serve as a guiding path in life, they help determine who you are and what you should do in life. Dreams are as precious as your childhood memories. They should never be forgotten. For when they are, you lose sight of who you truly are, who you truly want to be. Some times, they define the purpose for your life. When man first looked up at the night sky, and saw the moon, I could imagine that one person dreamed of landing on the moon. And after many generations, many lifetimes, we did land man on the moon.

Just to clarify, when you say 'dreams,' you're talking about ambitions right? Goals? Not the things you have while you're sleeping? Just making sure...
Anyway, as far as connecting some of those things in your notes section, you might talk about how Walt Disney started out with one characters, Mortimer (later Mickey) Mouse, and how that blossomed into the Disney empire that we have now. Disney's dream to Disneyworld/Disneyland, really, was to have a somewhat magical place where people's dreams come true (is that a slogan? -- no wait it's Happiest Place on Earth, nvm). You might also talk about how things like Disney movies and the Disney channel encourage kids to use their imagination.
As far as encorporating the 'achievable vs. impossible' aspect, you might want to say something like, 'although your dream may not be possible now, you can't make progress unless you aim for it.' Or something like that. That would lead nicely into what dreams do to help mankind make progress.
I like your example of landing a man on the moon. If you need another example for "breaking an impossible dream" try Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have A Dream' speech.
