The actuality stage is the fourth stage of the dream sequence.

Fig. 12.8 The Dream Sequence
 

The final stage is to turn your dreams and stories into reality. Pull on the strings of your story, bringing it closer again to present feasibilities. Think about the resources that you have now or can realistically acquire. Think about how your dreams and possibilities may be made real. Let necessity be the mother of invention in ways to turn the dream into reality.

Draw up a plan containing the details of your creation, who it will benefit, how you will create it and how you will profitably get it to the people who will benefit from it. Let this plan pull you forwards into the ideas and solutions that will realise your dream.
