Reading many comments here, I feel like there is a dimension to dreams that hasn't been emphasised enough: community/social dreams.
Post-COVID, I made an conscious effort to be more social, and take on more community activities, like doing Improv, making games for friends, and attending conferences just for fun.
By doing that, my dreams have become more of a broad North star: "I wish to keep investing in my community (family and friends, old and new), understand those around me, and thus myself".
Like others said, it's a qualitative difference when dreams are more of a path, rather than a destination.
