The Dreamscape Called America

I had a dream once. 7:30 A.M., I was drifting off and ended up in a land of dreams in which i soon became a student accepted to Harvard University. As the soon to be freshman hockey player with a full-ride scholarship to a top university in the country, fame in high school came easily..... Then i woke up. In doing so, I realized that I am nowhere close to achieving that dream. My life is not horrible, but it is not at the caliper of this dream i had. This fake reality that is achieved through dreams blinds Walter. He cannot see past his hopes of owning a liquor store and becoming rich quick, which causes him to quarrel with his family members. Walter must come back to reality, otherwise he may end up destroying his relationships with those close to him. Trying to make our own personal dreams come true can be extremely selfish and cause more turmoil than good.
