A saying about "Dream"
Hi,
I've got two versions of translation which seem to be correctly interpreted, but I'm not quite sure how to explain its inside meaning, as follows.
Question:
If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.
One of the translations in Chinese on the Internet is like this:"It means that if the dream is big enough, you can overcome any difficulties." and the other Chinese translation which seems much more poetic is :"If the dream is far, then you can fly far away." Although I can understand its overall meaning,especially after I have seen its Chinese translation,but I do not have a proper connection when speaking of the latter part of the saying.So I hope you can explain more about the latter part of the sentence.It's best to give me a most similar sentence with the same meaning.Thanks very much!

I don't understand which one was in Chinese, but this is what I think: If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count = if the dream is grand enough, you can overcome any practical difficulties.
