Dreams



Everybody gets those moments when they’re in a deep sleep and thinking that the dream is real and get so into the dream, but right when they hear the alarm clock go off their back into reality. Unlike the character Janie from the book Fade, by Lisa McMann, she doesn’t get those moments however she does experience those moments when she is sucked into a dream but not her own dream. I wouldn’t like to be in Janie’s position and having to deal to all of those dreams and never to be able to see what it’s like to have your own dream. I like having my own dreams. This book gives a message to readers on how dreams never expect the way you want them to turn out. 

While everybody comes home from a hard and long day from work with taking a long nap that’s when Janie begins her job. She has a caption that tells her whose dream to look into and what she needs to find in that persons dream. Janie had no problem doing this, but if I was in Janie position I would feel the totally opposite. I would never agree to do that and I wouldn’t like to know while I’m sleeping I’m technically working when I’m sleeping. Plus, knowing the fact I’m dreaming another person’s dream would be a little strange.

Janie has a caption that tells her certain clues to look for in someone’s dream. When Janie is doing assignments that her caption tells her to, she finds out that while she is in a dream she is capable to pause, rewind, and change the dream. While she is trying to do that to the dream her body goes all numb, has hard time breathing, and when she wakes up her vision is blurry and can’t see. If I was experiencing what Janie is going through right now I wouldn’t enjoy it at all that every time I go to sleep to not be able to feel my body, get really sweaty, and then have blurry eye vision. I would want to be able to sleep normally without all of that happening to me when I go to sleep

As I was reading the reactions Janie was having while she was getting sucked into a dream I found out that have many people have some similar reactions to her. When people are in a deep sleep and something suddenly or unexpectedly happen in their dream then they twitch a little or make some sort of noise since they are so into their dream just how Janie was when she saw those dreams and had those reactions. You never know how your dreams are going to turn out to be they will always surprise you.

People get into their pajamas and get under covers and can sleep away, In Janie situation it’s a little different she probably has the hardest time going to sleep and when she is asleep that is the worst part for her. Although dreams can be unexpected and give you some surprises I would like to see only my dream than random strangers dream.
