In the episode, Enter Sandman, June had to face Steven, the Sandman. After using a magical necklace to open a portal to the real world, Steven's plan was to enslave all of June's family and friends into building him a skyscraper so that he could go through the portal, and enter the real world so that he could rule over it.
My question here is, why did Steven need the people of Orchid Bay to build him a skyscraper? Considering the fact that they were in the dream realm, why didn't he just have one of them dream up a skyscraper, and climb to the top to reach the portal? Or why not have one of them dream up something like a rocket ship so that Steven could fly through the portal? One of those options could've been easier than enslaving people and forcing them to build a skyscraper. What are your thoughts?
