Is El sueño de cualquier hombre

the same as

El Sueño de todo Hombre?

Ella es "Is El sueño de cualquier hombre"

this was said and I think of it as "the dream of any man" that makes no sense in English but

El Sueño de todo Hombre?

Everyman's dream makes perfect sense - do they mean the same thing?

Gracias

"El sueño de cualquier hombre" does not convey the same meaning as "el sueño de todo hombre" to me. Once again, a matter of nuances. I pay attention to those.

To me, "el sueño de cualquier hombre "means "any man's dream"; that is, any regular, hot-blooded male would dream of a girl like that. But not every man. Monks, gay men, venerable old men, they may be above such mundane things.

On the other hand, "el sueño de todo hombre" means "what every man dreams about", "everyman's dream" as you put it. Liberty, self determination, the dream to achieve life's ultimate goals - those are every man's dreams - los sueños de todo hombre.

Neat answer. Any man's dream may not be every man's dream.. - annierats, Jan 29, 2012

"El sueño de todo hombre" sounds more like a fact that every man dreams about her, not just an expression. I think is more correct "El sueño de cualquier hombre".
