To Lewis, Narnia was a world that was never possible. As fantasy, it was literary allegory, intended for the entertainment of children, nothing more.
But even in fantasy, Lewis felt obliged to invent a Christ figure (Aslan). So even in his dreams he was bound by the surly bonds of his faith. His dogma was truly inescapable.
