Alice related to Deams

In class today I was looking through my Alice in Wonderland book, just at random....it's interesting that this is the type of book that even though you have already read it, possibly many times, and you know what will come next, a reader can still start somewhere at random, and get sucked in to turning page after page, as if it is all very new.......I stumbled upon something in the very beginning of the story, and it reminded of the dreams that we have been discussing in class.

"There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!' (When she thought it over afterwards it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural)"

This fact of seeing or experiencing something out of the ordinary and not thinking it strange at all.....is something that I live for. It depends on the profession. Sitting here at my work desk it would be extremely odd to see a man walk in the office with a bloody hand and the cut off finger in a plastic baggy of ice, however for the front desk clerk at the hospital, it would be just another day at the office.....and in a dream, a talking rabbit with a pocket watch seems natural, and in my dream blindness without it being blindness is just as normal as seeing, and when my sight returns, still nothing seems out of the ordinary. It is when we wake up that we think it strange, and the imagination/fun/horror/ new friend is gone. Moral of the story....sleep more, you can dream more, and not think the world is so strange!
