The narrator enters the story again to raise (and dismiss) the question of whether Brown’s experience had been real or only a dream. Why should he raise the question if he does not intend to answer it? What is your reaction to the passage? (Had the notion that Brown’s adventures might be a dream already entered your mind? If it had, what clues had put it there?)
