Yes in many ways but not entirely. He is dreamer as well and has an unfulfilled desire that troubles him and causes his unrest. Remember he always goes back to a fantasy of owning land and saving the family farm. He e an states a man is nothing without land.
He is nearly free of worldly desire and is on the path to Zen but has this one obstacle on his way. Now that could be interpreted as a physical representation of his drive to reach nirvana, his state of peace and no desire. It also could be seen as his fault that is keeping it just beyond his fingertips.
