Idealistic objectives (6)
I believe the answer is:
dreams
'idealistic objectives' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dreams that I've seen before include "Imaginings" , "Reveries or cherished aspirations" , "'We are such stuff / As dreams are made on' (The Tempest)" , "Fancies" , "'''We are such stuff as ... are made on'' The Tempest (6)'" .)
