Lennie's dream is to live with George in the barn that they have always dreamed of and to take care of rabbits. Whenever rabbits got brought up in the story, he wouldn't want to stop talking about them. He would spazz out almost as if he wasn't aware of what was going on in reality. George was both his motivation, and an obstacle to make his dream come true. He would remind him of the rabbits and how if he doesn't stay on his best behaviour, that none of it was going to happen. Another obstacle that Lennie has is himself. He doesn't quite understand his own strength and how much trouble his bad behaviour can get him into until he kills Curley's wife.
