Answer 1

Explanation:

Personification

Personification is attributing human characteristics to non-human objects.

If you can dream — and not make dreams your master

In the above line, the poet urges us not to allow our ‘dreams‘ to act like our master and control us. Our dreams acting like a master is a personification of dream.
