Partir v Quitter'According to Marc, you would have LEFT just before 8.'

In this exercise you prefer 'partir' (to go) over 'quitter' (to leave). But 'quitter' seems to be the more relevant in the context. Am I wrong?

ce qui était mon rêve depuis plusieurs année

I don't quite understand why "était" (imperfect) is used with "depuis." Is that because it is not longer his dream? Is is because the dream has been fulfilled? This dream does not continue?
