Answer:

The short story "Was It a Dream" deals with the theme of illusion against reality. When the narrator spems the night at the cementary, he sees how the dead rise from their tombs to changed the false and hypocritical engraving on their stones. The narrator's lover, whose stone said ‘She loved, was loved, and died,’ changed it for: ‘Having gone out one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold in the rain and died.’”

This shows how people show themselves differently than they really are. And, at the same time, people tend to glorify or even sanctify others, specially after they died, and present to society as something they are or were not.

say you love someone dearly, and you assume the person loves you, but, you find he\she was just playing you and actually loved another. he\she could've been just playing you for your wealth or other things you might have had, so that is when a character would say (possible the following day after sleeping) "was it a dream?" 


a story could possible be having a incredible adventure. after the character awakes he\she will most likely be thinking to her\him self "was it a dream?!"

An essay on the day I'll never forget<br>​
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The clouds stretched across the sky and they looked so fake yet somehow they were real. That day, I wasn't feeling anything in particular perhaps, I was having mood swings. The darkness tends to cause some sort of sadness within myself and today there was no sun. No sun, just clouds that stretched all the way to China and back. They made me feel like a little person but I remembered that, <em>it's a small world</em>. Nobody was thinking of me at that moment yet I wasn't thinking about anyone either. I felt common, not rare, just common. It seemed that nothing I could do would ever make a change in this world we call home. A song was replaying in my head the lyrics waning in crescendo, "Roses are red, violets are blue, my heart is dead, i'm such a fool." What more could I need to feel so lost within my thoughts than being alone with them. I looked up at the roof which extended far, almost too far reminding me of why I chose to live in a mansion. Well, actually I'm not sure why I chose to live in a mansion by myself. As I thought to myself, I only conjured sad thoughts. I felt like crying but only then I would be feeling bad for myself. <em>Rich people aren't supposed to be sad? Not like this aren't they? </em>I wanted to believe that, be like them, everybody else but it was something that I couldn't be. Rich was just a word but It can't describe how I felt. It just described who I was in an aspect of wealth. All alone, I sat in my chair rocking back and forth looking through the isolated and strangely large circular window. Clouds among clouds among more clouds stretching a seemingly endless route. I wish I was up there so I could feel the weightlessness that I so longlessly dreamed about. The weightlessness that brought no sadness, stress, or struggles. Down here I was merely a weight on the world, being of no use to anyone or anything, maybe even a diamond in the rough but if my uniqueness showed then maybe I would actually have potential. Still, that sounded very unlikely. I couldn't honor my myself but the weightlessness of the clouds could. Above those clouds only then would I see the sun once again. How happy would I be? Eternally happy. Only the clouds could make me happy because they looked so fake yet they were real<em> just like myself. </em>
