Dream was little more than a youngster when he met Reality. Reality’s parents weren’t all that keen about their daughter marrying him. But then again their hearts went out to the lad at the thought that he’d had to fend for himself since he was a small boy, having lost both parents at an early age. What’s more, they could hardly doubt their daughter didn’t know what she was doing. After all, she’d always been very practically- minded and down-to-earth, even as a child. And how self-assured she was!
She was certainly more mature than Dream, also because she was older than him, as tell-tale wrinkles here and there clearly revealed. Not even the fact that Reality’s family was well-heeled while Dream could hardly afford the shabby shoes he wore seemed to deter her.
Indeed, it’s probably because they appeared to have so little in common that each presumed to be the perfect match for the other, as lovers are so often inclined to do. But as much as they loved each other, they failed to beget a child. Sadly, Reality discovered she couldn’t have any. What distressed her most was the thought that she’d never be able to give Dream, who, it must be admitted, was extremely handsome, a child as good looking as him.
