"Life Is But A Dream" is a book of fictional dreams that allows us to reflect on our past while giving us hope for the future. The characters allow us to look inside ourselves and retrospectively evaluate the meaning of our life and our dreams. Our dreams are so short and so limited in comparison the span of our lives. However, our life, too, is so short and its reach so limited in its comparison to the vastness of time and space. Thus, in a way, "life is but a dream."
