Dreamer: "Look how clear the sky is tonight! Look at the stars! There must be thousands of them! Do you think people on a planet around that star is looking down at us and wondering if we are looking back at them? Down-to-earth person: "I don't know about thousands of stars, but there are thousands of mosquitos and we'd better go back inside."

Down to earth is practical. They may have dreams, but they will not just wait for them to fall from the sky they will assess how to get there and work towards it. They are the builders, the problem solvers and are generally quite straight forward, and honest.

A "down to earth," person does not spend much time dreaming and hoping for things that are not realistic. They are often quite an honest or blunt person. If you like astrology, you may know that people with the birth sign "Taurus," are often considered to be down to earth. Taurus is my birth sign.
