I never mentioned Over A Barrel or anyone wanting to be a tree.

What I've mentioned aren't "freaky and brainless" dreams.

Applejack didn't just dream about that apple one time and then forget about it. She was actually growing it, but it was sacrificed to catch Flutterbat.

Pinkie Pie has consciously stated in several songs in several episodes that it is her goal to be friends with everyone. She appears to take it rather seriously.

I'll concede on the Fluttershy dream however. We really don't see any evidence of that desire anywhere else in the show. But I'm not going to accept that she's just an ambitionless slacker just following the other ponies who have real goals. We see time and time again that she wants to gain confidence and she has faced several of her fears already. Honestly, I'd say Fluttershy has already achieved more goals than any of her friends have.
