Question about Japanese
Recently l've been learning about when to use これ, それ and あれ, but I'm still not sure about one thing. Which do you use when speaking about something that is not visible?
eg. "This is my dream".

これ is close to speaker.
それ is a pronoun of topic appeared the immediate past. or, close to listener.
あれ is far from speaker and listener.
When does used in talk, "temporal distance" is included.
In order of closeness, これ,それ,あれ.
This is my dream. I translate usually...
これは私の夢です。
これが私の夢です。
あれ is translated usually "that".
However,This is your dream. I translate,
それはあなたの夢です。
