There's nothing wrong with letting go of a dream. People often judge by the outcome while the value lies in the journey. The point of dreaming of something and trying to reach it is what you learn and realise about yourself while doing that. It doesn't matter if you choose to abandon your dream because you've found a new direction, new vision while working on it, you know more now and you've come to the conclusion that achieving that dream really wouldn't buy you anything worth what you've already gained by going through the process. Conversely, if you set your dream, work for it and finally achieve it but really learn nothing new of yourself to give you a clearer, better vision of your life, have you just wasted all the time on what was supposed to be the pretense for forcing yourself to go through stuff?

If you look at fields with growth opportunity they tend to warp into a pattern where a few participants are highly successful and everyone else is competing to do work for free. When I started CS it was not yet approaching that pattern, it was still collecting burn outs from other STEM fields who liked to mess with complex systems. They pretty much all lived well because they were in the right place at the right time since they were done with any dream BS and just looked for something interesting that payed.
