I'm not very good at English so my translation is going to be bad. 理想は理想のままがいい I want the ideal to remain as an ideal. this means that I still can't make it true. 手の届かないところにあるから輝いて見えるのです If I translate this literally →The ideal looks shining because I can't touch it. I can't touch it = I can never make it come true. That's especially why the ideal looks more attractive. I'm really bad at translating but I hope you understand even for just a bit.

thank you :)

There is no contents, so I'm not sure what it means perfectly. But there is a negative atmosphere. It sounds like "If you touch it, you really get to know it is just a rock not a diamond, so you should look at it from the distance." I might be wrong, but if I were this writer who gave up his dream, I would write the same thing. I might be wrong, maybe translations are; Recently, I often see dreams. I want to keep the ideals what they are. They are shining as long as I can't reach them.

I wrote below.

最近よく夢を見るんです。 → I dream a lot lately. 理想は理想のままがいい。 → Ideals are good because they are ideals. (Ideals should remain just as it is.) 手の届かないところにあるから輝いて見えるのです → Ideals glitter(look attractive) because they are out of our reach. I hope it helps you :D
