    Compare and contrast. The topic I have chosen to discuss is the function and meaning of dreams and dreaming in fantasy texts. Dreaming‚ in this context‚ is an implicit representation of the characters ideals and their wants. I believe the function of dreaming in fairy tales to be a temporary escape from ones reality‚ a reflection of ones true desires‚ as well as a tool that gives dimension to the characters‚ while at the same time allowing the reader to better understand the mind of the characters
