Answer:

The point of view used in this poetic, short story is first-person, this point of view hints itself by using pronouns like I, me, my, and we which tells the story from the character's point of view, like a first-hand experience. The usage of first-person perspective makes the reader feel close to the protagonist and in the action. In "Was It a Dream" we can confirm the point of view because of the pronouns found in every line of the story, "I had loved her madly!", or "I was alone, perfectly alone. So I crouched in a green tree and hid myself there completely amid the thick and somber branches. I waited, clinging to the stem, like a shipwrecked man does to a plank." which all include the first-person point of view pronouns I, we, me, and my. But what if this short story used a different point of view such as objective or omniscient?

If this same story was told the same way, but with a different point of view, what would it look like?  If this point of view was omniscient we would know everything, the narrator and reader knows what everyone is thinking and feeling throughout the tale and reveals all of that information to the reader. If "Was It a Dream" was an omniscient point of view the story would have contained pronouns like they, he, she, them, they're, and so on, these specific pronouns are used instead of first-person pronouns because the narrator is not a part of the story unlike a first hand experience form the protagonist. Think of it as if the narrator was watching everything from a cloud up above and could see and know everything that was unfolding in the story's plot. The story would change drastically because we would know what the sick women, the graveyard skeletons, priest, and other side characters in this story were thinking and feeling as well as the original protagonist.

The point of view used in "Was it a dream?" is the one of a man totally in love as to the point that he could not conceive life without his loved.

If he had loved her in a more consciously way he might have been able to deal with the fact of her illness and probably things would have been different.

The author communicates feelings about love relationships by describing in detail the many sensations about his loved woman.  It was a love almost crazy, desperate and like if nothing else in the world existed.

This kind of feeling is really very risky since the person centers life in that love and if love breaks or one of the couple dies simply life ends up.

There must be a period after the author's name, article title, and web address. A comma is used after the name of the magazine and the publication date. The publication date should be written with the day first followed by the month and then the year. This citation should also include the date that the site was accessed. The reason for including the access date is that it will give people a better idea of why they can't find the information you saw three years late.
