No, not at all. Their dream is to have a farm together and to live off 'the fatta land', to tend rabbits, to have cows, pigs and to have their own land.

The dream was a… possibility when Candy joined, however after the death of Curley's wife (Lennie snapped her neck) it became impossible due to Curley wanting to kill Lennie as revenge. From an reading the novel early on the reader can see that the dream was never going to be fulfilled due to the juxtaposition of hope and despair (every time something good happens something bad happens - i.e candy joins the dream, then Lennie kills Curley's wife destroying the dream). So the reader knows that the likelihood of the dream being fulfilled is none. Also, there is some ambiguity whether George actually believes the dream is a possibility in the first place and he just keeps on talking about it, to make Lennie happy due to this juxtaposition of hope and despair.

George is simply after the American Dream. Freedom and being able to become your own boss and have your own land is what he desires. Lennie is set on tending the rabbits, and defending them from the cats that dare threaten them. Lennie is dependent on George, so what George wants, Lennie wants too,… to keep George happy. Candy doesn't want to become useless on the ranch, because he knows that once he can't work, he won't be able to gain work because he is handicapped and no one will want to hire him. On the ranch, he can do odd jobs, like washing dishes etc, where he'll still be useful. Crooks, strangely it would seem, wants to work for George for free. He'd still be doing slave labour like he does on the ranch and without money. But on George's land, Crooks would get something he could never get on the ranch; respect. (MORE)
