Ive started to think more about dream culture and the idea of a separate world we enter in our dreams. This comes from researching into what exists already with regards to visiting a different world, when researching more and more I've realised it's quite a common thing. With Alice In Wonderland, that whole concept is a young girl who has fallen asleep and fallen down the rabbit hole, she goes on this wondrous adventure and at the end we are left wondering whether it was real or all just a dream?
This theme carries across into other books too, J.M Barrie's Peter Pan entertains the idea that a boy can fly and takes children on adventures, it too embraces the idea that this only happens when they should be asleep.
C.S Lewis also had this dream culture come through in his work, although his also tangled in with the concepts of death, it is talked about within the characters that they shared the same dream of Narnia therefore it must be real. It also alluded to that the 'true' Narnia, Aslan's Narnia is the equivalent to heaven as all of the characters from previous books, including those who perished in real time England were there.
I kind of like the idea that there is more than just one world and that we can live through dream worlds, I like the idea of creating something that makes you question which is the real world or whether it's a dream. It's definitely something I will been looking into.
