Have dreams?

The use of "have" in have a dream, makes it hard for me to understand, what does "have" here? Thanks.

Dreams without goals are just dreams, and they ultimately fuel disappointment. So have dreams but have goals, life goals, yearly goals, monthly goals, daily goals. I try to give myself a goal every day.

"have dreams" is an imperative. In this case "have" refers to possession, more or less in the usual sense of having something, except that dreams are abstract things, of course. "dreams" means hopes or wishes about things that you want to happen (nuance that these things may be distant or unattainable).
