Answer:
The theme of "Was it a dream?" is Illusion vs Reality
Explanation:
In the story, the speaker goes to visit his deceased lover's grave and decides to spend the night in the cementery.
After the sun sets, the speaker sees the dead rise from the ground and re-write the engraving on heir tombstones, erasing the lies written by those who loved them and replacing them with the hard truth.
When the speaker reaches his lover's grave, he sees that her engraving changed, revealing that she had fallen ill in an atempt to deceive him. This shows how people live presenting a false image of themselves, how they create a facade that remains even after death, instead of living their life truthfully.
