'Dreams and realities' are both part of life in both different and similar ways. Dreams are what you want whereas reality is what you have. Many dreams can become reality.

In the case of these two books, 'Jude the Obscure' and 'A Kind of Loving', dreams and reality overlap and conflict with each other to result in unhappiness, in the case of Vic and Ingrid and Jude and Arabella but also happiness and fulfilment like Jude and Sue. Jude Fawley, lives a life of poverty in the village of Marygreen, as a stone-mason, but as a young boy he is effected by his schoolmaster Mr Phillotson, who leaves the village to find a better life as a university student in Christminster, Oxford. This provokes Jude to strive for more, 'his dream'. However, due to circumstances Jude's dream is put aside when he marrys Arabella, (a loveless marriage). Soon, this ends and Jude is free and travels to Christminster where he meets Sue, his cousin who also has dreams.
