Re: To dream or not to dream
It could work well in contrasting the boy's wishes of who he'd like to be against the stark reality. But you can't have it go for more than a page (at most) if you don't clue us in it's a dream.
Look at "Risky Business." The opening lines are "The dream is always the same..." And then it shows his deepest desires and fears - sex vs. studies - which plays out in the rest of the film.
