  The dream solution of the continuum hypothesis (CH) would be a solution by
which we settle the continuum hypothesis on the basis of a newly discovered
fundamental principle of set theory, a missing axiom, widely regarded as true.
Such a dream solution would indeed be a solution, since we would all accept the
new axiom along with its consequences. In this article, however, I argue that
such a dream solution to CH is unattainable.
  The article is adapted from and expands upon material in my article, "The
set-theoretic multiverse", to appear in the Review of Symbolic Logic (see
arXiv:1108.4223).
