look below
ok just went to the scene on the ultimate edition and i see what u sayin but i think its just a dialogue on a flash back not a dream. when he says that we immediately cut to the climax of man of steel from his pov, so I think by dream n taking him to the light he meant hope cuz the film shows that after that he lost faith in men. i cld be wrong tho idk, its an interesting topic to say the least
he literally says 'in the DREAM, that's how it happened', so how is he not talking about a dream? lol....seriously, you dont think bats has had 'dreams' about that shyt?...what's funny is that scene is similar to the scene in batman begins and how he discovered the bat cave.....
but you're right: it is a double meaning and the light does represent 'hope', but at the time he says it, we didnt know lost faith in men....we didnt find out till later, which makes what he said stand out more....and it's little shyt like that why i enjoy the shyt outta this film....
