why do we have to use encore'' C'était encore mieux que dans ses rêves

C'était encore mieux que dans ses rêves.

Could I say- c'etait plus mieux que ses reves?

or

C'etait meme mieux que dans ses reves.

Why '' encore''?

Bonjour Togrul J.

You cannot say 'plus mieux' in French as 'mieux' is already a superlative.

Meilleur, mieux, pire / plus mauvais, plus mal = better, best, worse and worst in French (irregular comparatives and superlatives)

It's as the English 'more better'.

So for 'even better', you could say 'même mieux', or 'encore mieux'.

Hope this helps!
