The dream in the previous story
by Filomena inspires Panfilo to tell

another story about the significance
of dreams. Dreams, he says, often
feel real while we’re sleeping but
turn out to be nothing but fantasies.

Others, however, can come true. So
some people either believe in dreams
wholeheartedly OR they have to see
them come to life before they believe.

Panfilo equivocates about the power of
dreams. Filomena’s story proves that
not all dreams are false. His story’s
going to support this idea.
