I guess it just comes down to translation, or what was meant by the question. I think the real question is: what are your dreams (as in "ambitions")
and the answer: "I don't have any further ambitions, I am living the dream" meaning I will continue my work as I did until now.
(I have already reached the top, the only thing I have to do now is maintain my status.)

just rambling my thoughts. this was one of the very first interviews I read from ayu and was like ...huh?
Ayumi Hamasaki is the dream, in the sense that she had a very dream-like presence and aesthetic (until Love again maybe). She was/is a dream in the sense that the popstar Ayumi Hamasaki is unreal, a projection of what the public needed or wanted from her. Ayu, the person, for sure has dreams. But Ayu, the popstar, a collective dream. And a neverending one, as here body of work will outlive her (the crossroad PV).
