Does 'Dream Children' reveal any unfulfil desire of Lamb's heart?

The essay 'Dream Children' reveals Lamb's intense desire for family life but adverse circumstances made it impossible for him to realise his cherished desire. The very idea of children, fanciful though they are creeping upto him and nagging at his elbow with a desire to listen to an account of his boyhood days provides him an outlet for his unfulfilled desire. The idea is imaginative but intensely pathetic.
