How long has it been since you and your wife talked about your hopes and dreams? Ideally this should be an ongoing conversation, but at the very least you need to discuss it every few months.
Sharing your hopes and dreams is an intimate thing. It is sharing an important part of your heart, and it will draw you closer together. It’s also a good way to know if your wife is changing in any way. As we change, our goals and desires change too. A lack of dreams for the future is a bad sign, and regularly talking about goals will give you a warning if her dreams are dying, or if she is just giving up.
When you talk about this, be sure you both share. Ask her questions to draw out more information about what she hopes for. Shared dreams are good for your marriage, so work on having some of those.
When your wife shares her dreams, consider what you could do to help her move towards one or more of them. Or ask her how you could help. Even if fulfilling a particular dream is years in the future, there may be ways to works towards it now.

If this is true, and regularly discussing hopes & dreams will nurture intimacy, then what effect do you think would NOT regularly (or ever) doing this possibly have?
@James – Exactly!
