Dreams

I thought that the dream sequences that Danticant included in the book were really interesting. They added a new perspective to Amabelle and gave the reader a deeper view into her life and her personality. It was hard for me though to read these dream sequences as part of the story but always keep in the back of my mind that they were dreams and not actually fact, because some of them seemed so real. I think that Amabelle's dreams stopped while on her escape back to Haiti because at that point she was active and was playing a role in deciding her fate. Before that she had been a passive observer of what was going on around her and through her dreams she tried to compensate for this. Most of my dreams are vivid, but I still usually don't have any idea what they mean or signify. Sometimes I can pull out parts in my dreams and relate them to things that happened or I thought about during the day, but usually they are just things that dont really make sense to me. I never really go for a long amount of time without having dreams, and I'm not really sure what that says about my life or how it relates to my dreams.
