Answer:
In my own opinion, yes, I believe that Nathaniel Hawthorne's description of Goodman Brown's dream is, in fact, believable, but only as a dream. This is because it takes place in the perfect place for the imagination and the mind to make everything seem real: a dream. Had Hawthorne's description of Goodman Brown's dream been outside of that dream, it would not be so believable then. Despite the fact that there are numerous characters, events, and circumstances that are more typical for a person's mind to create images and scenes while they are suspended in a dream state rather than to be present within real-life standards, there are other aspects of Hawthorne's description that redeem the plausibility of the dream. There are particularly accurate aspects of the dream, for example, the depiction of the Puritan culture. The Puritan people, in their time, were greatly influenced by religion and had it utilized against them for others to have control over them through their fear of facing the wrath of God. On the other hand, it is not so believable that one would encounter the Devil himself in the woods in real life as it occurs in the dream. Again, it must be stressed that overall, the description of the dream is only believable as just that: a dream. It would not be believable otherwise.
