Young Adult and Children's Literature. Saturday, November 1, 2008. The best dream I ever had. November 28, 2006. I keep a dream diary). I have a dream diary too, my old friend/roommate gave it to me because she was sick of hearing my crazy dreams every morning. She thought if I had this dream journal I wouldn't feel the need to share my dreams. It kind of worked. They are fun to look back through. November 2, 2008 at 5:15 PM.

If I had to choose just one favorite chapter in this work of literary nonsense, I would have to pick Tweedledum and Tweedledee. It is interesting that in an imaginary world, there are characters telling Alice that she is in an imaginary world. Is Alice an imaginary image in wonderland, or is wonderland an imaginary image in Alice? My Favorite Alice Chapter.
