Dream is a major theme in this story. How important are dreams in your own life? Do you think they can influence reality like in the story?
Dreams can be very important. They provide a space for individuals to explore their fears, hopes, and desires. Some people even use their dreams as a source of inspiration for their creative work.
In the story, dreams affect reality in a magical way through the actions of The Big Friendly Giant. Although in real life dreams do not literally become a reality as they do in the story, they can still affect a person's reality. How you interpret or act on your dreams can influence your decisions and actions. For example, if you dream about succeeding in a particular goal, it might motivate you to work harder towards that goal in reality. Just like the story suggests, dreams could have the power to shape reality in their own ways.
