Choosing between a sure job and an amazing job.... what would you do?

Here is a question for everyone.....

What would you do if you were offered a good job in your field with pretty good pay, but had also gotten an email from a different person saying that your DREAM job may be offered to you in March (it is subject to a grant being successful). Would you take the first job because it is a sure thing, or would you hold out for your dream job which may never happen. Or would you take the first job knowing that in a few months you may leave it?

This is all hypothetical at this point as neither may come up but it is something I have pondering for a while. So what would you do?

Take the first job knowing that something may come up in a few months. I do believe in pursuing what makes your heart leap. I don't believe in relying on bureaucracy to get it. So definately go for it when it comes up. Just dont bank on it now.
