Answer :
The choice of this word shows that the image that America transmits seems real, but it is illusory and hides truths that are not so beautiful.
Although you have not shown the text to which this question refers, we can see from questions similar to yours that you are referring to "Hollywood Dreams of Wealth, Youth, and Beauty."
In this text, the author shows that:
- The American dream was greatly strengthened by Hollywood and its movies.
- These movies showed a beautiful America, full of possibilities, where everyone can achieve success and prosperity.
- However, the films do not show the difficulties that people go through in American and like many of them cannot reach their goals.
- The movies don't even show that people in Americans have debts, problems, unfavorable appearances, and other difficulties.
- This creates an image that America is beautiful, but that's not true.
Thus, when the author uses the word "dream-y" he shows how the image we have of America is something mounted and superficial, like a dream, but which holds a more sober and ugly truth, which we cannot fully see.

Answer:
Hollywood movies portray the American Dream as an attractive reality that every person who lives in America can attain.
Explanation:
"Hollywood Dreams of Wealth, Youth, and Beauty" is an article written by reporter Bob Mondello. In this article he talk about how Hollywood has managed to picture the American Dream easy to achieve, when it is not that easy.
The passage:
He begins his article by asserting that "Tinseltown (or Hollywood) didn't invent the American Dream..." But, Hollywood, did managed to picturize this dream in their movies. These movies would portray that the American Dream can be easily achieved through hard-work, by dressing good, etc while in reality not everyone is able to make it, 'even the folks who aren't making it onscreen are still movie stars.'
So, the connection that author tries to make in this article is that Hollywood has portrayed the American Dream easily achievable and attractive when in reality it is not.
