Well for most of us that day honors a man named martin Luther King, who made a speech, it's really famous, about "having a dream" that white and black people might someday be on equal footing here. i think "living the dream" implies, from at least the stand point of a black person that he or she has achieved some measure of sucess in their jobs etc. i think white people have adopted the phrase.
