Well, this poem gives several assessments of a dreamer - I take him/her to be a day-dreamer. According to some hostile viewers, such a one is a psychopath - Oh, the tyranny of neighbors, and everyone in a city is a potential neighbor, since we encounter them in impersonal settings like stores or parks; others just use the wor DREAMER pejoratively - that's an easy put-down; but finally the speaker suggests somewhat tentativly that the dreamer may be the wisest one of all. Perhaps.
