What hiring managers want to find out is what you're passionate about and what type of projects inspire you. They are not necessarily looking for you to say that their projects are what you dream of doing. They want to learn about your long-term career goals and figure out whether you'll be happy in this job.

When answering this question, make sure you're showing some overlap between the qualities you want in a dream project and dream role and the characteristics of the position you're interviewing for. For example, if you're interviewing for a highly technical role, talk about what types of technical challenges and projects you enjoy. Try to mention a well-known or award-winning project and talk about what works well and why you consider this one of your dream projects.
