What are Your Hopes & Dreams for Heaven?

I imagine that eternity with God is something that we have all meditated upon. That time is described largely in symbol, so exactly what it will be like for us is a great mystery, but speculation, hopes and dreams are certainly something that we are all allowed. What is your hope and what are your dreams for eternity?

PS: I am not interested in a debate on eschatology in this thread. Whether you call it eternity or heaven, I frankly don't care, because we all see through a glass darkly. The question is, what are your hopes and dreams for that eternity?

Okay, so here are my hopes and dreams for heaven. I am so looking forward to getting to know that Person who loves me so much that he died for me. I want to see my parents again and to know what happened to them after they died. I would also love to see all those ancestors that gave us a Christian heritage lasting many hundreds of years. I also am looking forward to a place where I can trust everyone I meet, where people genuinely have my interests at heart and will not stab me in the back, seek to take my position away from me or undermine my joy. I am looking forward to the endless peace, where I don't have to worry about income, criminals, dangers or world problems. I am also hoping to see my wife and our children there. The assembly in heaven will be so awesome that I'm looking forward to the new songs, eternal ecstasies and new friendships forever. I also have a few dozen big questions that I'm looking forward to having answered.
