Editor: There seems to be a noun sense missing from dictionaries:
"aspiration; desire; sth one keeps thinking about"

That's based on examples such as the following:

天漢二年,率五千步兵與匈奴十萬軍馬對戰,因力寡無援,被迫投降,武帝盛怒而誅其全家,李陵極為悲憤,自此斷絕歸漢念想,最終病卒異域。

毁灭古巴及其革命是延续了45年还多的一个念想。
The idea of destroying Cuba and its revolution is an obsession that has lasted for more than 45 years.

在这个简短的演讲中,她建议我们要断绝破坏完地球最后还可以去火星的念想,
In this short talk, she suggests that we stop dreaming of Mars as a place that we'll eventually move to when we've messed up Earth,

这是他唯一的念想
It's the only thing he thinks about.

我全部的念想 便是你和孩子
All I could think about was you and our child.

如今我仅有的念想 便是将生命付诸七神
My only remaining wish is to devote my life to the Seven.

我知道他还不能开车 但他可以有个念想
I know he can't drive yet, but he can dream.
