Curley's wife had dreams of Hollywood, being a star in the pictures, and living in a fine house. Her dreams seem more like the stuff of a small town girl who lacks sophistication, even maturity. George's dreams are based on the desperate need to find a place to call home. 

Curley's wife had dreams of being famous, being a star in the pictures, and having a fine house. Her dream is less unlikely to happen since back then, women were treated badly by men so being a women and being famous would most likely not happen.
