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.

This dream is also Candy's as well, who sort of hitch hikes onto the back of it half way through the novel after overhearing them.

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.
