But Lin has already mapped out five dreams that will follow completion of his work: completing a history of mountaineering in Taiwan, a Taiwan edition of the World Mountaineering Encyclopedia, a book introducing famous mountains in Taiwan, an encyclopedic survey of the natural surroundings in the mountains around Keelung, and a similar work for Taiwan's highest peaks. He figures he could be finished in 2020, "or perhaps never."
但林宗聖已經又規劃出接下來的五個夢：著作台灣登山史、台灣版世界登山百科辭典、台灣百名山、基隆火山博物誌、台灣高山博物誌，預計完成的工作時間在公元二○二○年，「甚至無限期」，他早有從黑髮走到白髮的準備。
