There is hope for George when referring to the dream since he might live it with Slim. Slim is to George as George was to Lennie. They both like doing similar things and have alike personalities. There is a glimmer of a happy ending for them both, now that they can go into the real world without the burden of Lennie. As for Lennie as very sad as it is, his dream is over. (unless his dream happens in "heaven".) (Very said that George killed his best friend and lied to him, about the dream and everything. And tricking him just to ill him. -cry- :( )

Lennie and George's dream in "Of Mice and Men" represents the American Dream of owning land, working hard, and achieving success.

One parallel in "Of Mice and Men" is the dream of owning a piece of land shared by George and Lennie, mirroring the American Dream. A contrast is the characters of George and Lennie themselves, with George being intelligent and practical while Lennie is simple-minded and physically strong. Another contrast is the treatment of the characters with disabilities, such as Lennie, compared to those who are considered "normal" in society.
He dreams of owning his own farm with Lennie on the "fat of the land." George wants to raise enough money, and they would go together. Lennie would tend to the rabbits.

Lennie's favorite quote about the dream in "Of Mice and Men" is: "We're gonna live off the fatta the lan'." This quote reflects Lennie's simple desire for a peaceful life filled with abundance and security, highlighting his yearning for a stable future with George.
