		+	==Trivia==
		+	While this work being the first Dale+[[Gadget]] epic is important and influential, it can be argued that the whole 'parallel universe' setting weakens authors' point of view and implicitly states that in the canon universe the possibility of D+G relationship is very low. Here is what Dr. Indy says on the matter:

As it turned out, it was emotional no matter what we did to ease the blow.
		+
		+	''If I ever go back to do a re-ediit of it, which Chris asks about every now and then, we'd probably take out the "variant" idea and just let the story stand on its own merits. The variant idea was a product of the era it was written in and has no real bearing on its acceptability now.
		+
		+	''As to the story itself, Chris and I were very satisfied with the outcome. "Daring to Dream" broke new ground and even forced us to think about Chip and Dale in new ways. As the Untold Ranger Tales progress, our focus began to change, but in good ways. We found ourselves re-discovering the characters and in some cases reinventing them, but always with respect to what had come before.''
