Many of the Dream's features are under wraps until launch, but based on leaked photos and videos, along with screen shots released by Google, we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

I got embroiled in the drama of the unfulfilled desires shared by Lady Brett Ashley and Jake Barnes and understood the absurdity of Cohn’s idea of romantic love. I finished the book in two days.
