Reynolds compares his dream to “a rabid beast” that bit and infected him in youth, propelling him on a lifelong quest to find it (84). He feels he is on the right path, tracking it down through scent, sound, and sight, exploring every possible place it might hide. He acknowledges the uncertainty of finding the dream but values the treasures discovered along the way, shaping who he is. He emphasizes that while dreams make people unique, true greatness arises from “courage,” “passion,” and appreciation for life. Reynolds signs off his letter with humble words of warmth and encouragement, leaving room for dreamers to interpret its meaning for their own path.
