Maybe Jaune always dreamed of it, but when it came time to putting in the effort to actually learning Jaune was more interested in playing make believe. Simply put, he didn't put in the effort beyond saying that's what he wanted to do and after a while his father just sort of gave up on trying to train him.

Initiation was a wake up call for him because it showed him that he actually needed to put in the effort or he was really going to die - he couldn't just gallavant around daydreaming about it anymore, he was far behind everyone else and now needed to play catchup.
