Weekend Journals

All sections:

We will begin reading Alice in Wonderland in the coming week. One of the most important characteristics of this text is Lewis Carroll's use of dream logic. Indeed, we discover very quickly that the rules of the real world don't really apply in Wonderland.

Over the weekend, write two "dream journals" (one for each day). Try to notice your dreams. What happened? Who was in it? What was unusual about the landscape, the people, and the conversation you may have had? Did you visit strange places? Were ythe people not who you thought they were? If you can't remember you dreams exactly, don't fret! Go ahead and just make it up! As always, let you imagination go; don't edit yourself! The stranger, the better.
