Correct or not no. 42: dream for?

Hello there,

Is the following sentence natural-sounding and correct? In particular, I'd like to know if dream for works well in this sentence.

I know it's your dream for me to talk to her instead of you and it's just another excuse of yours.

Thanks a million

Yes, that works OK, but is the excuse part of the dream? If not: I know that it's your dream for me to talk to her instead of you and that it's just another excuse of yours.

MM, may I ask one more question? Is that absolutely necessary in that sentence?

Thanks

If you want a clear sentence, you need both 'that's.
