Review of Dream Scenario

I found Dream Scenario kind of depressing. The protagonist is such a hopeless and pitiful character, at the same time he seems to be a good teacher, AND he has a wife and two daughters who love him. That's a lot to be thankful for! Then slowly it all falls together, and in the end he desperately wishes things were how they used to be. How did he not realise that he had a lot be grateful for? For me this is the take away message. I'm not sure we really understand what we have until it's gone. So consider Dream Scenario a warning! Cherish the bird in your hand. Feed it and give love. When it's flown, you might regret it.
