isn't it also related to some dolls toy like Barbie. Plus there is a an annual charity lottery called Dream Life Lottery. Probably a few other uses too.

this is strange... if only bonkers wanted it the price would not go that high... how many people were involved in the auction does anybody know? It's eating me.. why did these people want the name so much?

DreamLife.com was some kind of self help website...

Here is a review I found on the net:

Overview

I recently discovered Dreamlife.com through Yahoo!, and now I don’t know what I’ve been doing without it. Dreamlife.com is a fantastic resource for expanding your own mind, organising your life, realising your potential, and soothing your spirit. This website offers a myriad of free self-improvement classes that you can take, as well as a few inexpensive paying courses, and has a personalised profile page to keep track of your progress and help you realise your self-set goals, whatever they may be, in all areas of your life. Registration for this site is absolutely free, the pages load quickly, and the entire atmosphere is pleasant and soothing. Below I have attempted to describe some of the benefits and course offerings for your edification.

...................................................

Conclusion

Dreamlife.com has become my morning friend. Ten minutes a day leaves me feeling less stressed and calmer as a whole, and I enjoy the many extra features it has to offer, such as member forums, an online diary, and verified experts leading the classes. If you enjoy helping yourself to live a better, healthier, happier life, then don’t miss out on your dreams. Visit Dreamlife.com.

There were almost 100 people with the initial $60 bid. But after $25k there was just Bonkers and another guy..

That other guy looked like an end user because I have never seen his username before.

Bonkers seems to be the type that if he sees and end-user that wants a name badly, he'll bid it up just because he can.

Bonkers and Snapnames..lol

SnapNames does not in any way, shape or form shill or bid in any auction that we run. The other serious bidder in this auction was new to SnapNames, but he was vetted and we deemed him legit. He really wanted that one particular domain, but Bonkers wanted it just a little bit more. Congrats to the new owner.

Please email me directly with any SN related questions: [email protected]..

Hmmmm that is a lot of money for a two word name that really has no great keywords. Probably working off of previous user traffic etc...
IMHO

It must be a dream life to be able to afford to pay $171,750 for dreamlife.com. Hey! I get it!

Lets hope the $171,750 drained Bonkers budget, Less bidding is always good for us. ;)
