Bereits das von Thomas Jefferson in der Unabhängigkeitserklärung formulierte, gottgegebene Recht des Menschen auf "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" kann als eine Urform des amerikanischen Traums gesehen werden, auch wenn sich der Begriff zum ersten Mal erst über one hundred fifty Jahre später bei James Truslow Adams findet. Dieser spricht 1931 in seinem Buch The Epic of the US von dem "American dream, that dream of a land within which lifestyles will be greater and richer and fuller for each guy, with chance for every in line with his skill or achievement."
Truslows Definition zufolge scheint sich der amerikanische Traum im Kern auf die Hoffnung eines besseren und glücklicheren Lebens für alle Menschen jeglicher sozialer, ethnischer und religiöser Herkunft zu beziehen. Hierauf deuten auch zahlreiche Aussagen berühmter Amerikaner. So stellt Richard Nixon die materielle Komponente des Traums heraus und nennt "full employment, higher housing, excellence in schooling; in rebuilding our towns and enhancing our rural components; in preserving our surroundings and embellishing the standard of lifestyles" als zentrale Elemente. Ronald Reagan erinnert an die Einzigartigkeit des amerikanischen Volkes und hebt den Sonderstatus hervor, welcher den united states in der Welt zukomme. Amerika sei "too nice a kingdom to restrict (them)selves to small dreams." Jesse Jackson und Martin Luther King träumen von Freiheit und Gleichheit für alle Bürger, insbesondere für die afroamerikanische Bevölkerung. Und invoice Clinton betont die universelle Gültigkeit des amerikanischen Traums, welcher jeden Bürger am Erfolg partizipieren lasse, solange er hart und rechtschaffen arbeite.
