Conclusion
Dreams are the one and only thing that keep humans motivated to set and achieve their goals. Sub-concious dreams are what humans can use to escape from reality for a little while when life gets to much to handle. Conscious and sub-conscious dreams work together to make humans perform to their best ability possible. In most of my sources the ideas are contradicting because the two sides are subconscious and conscious which are completely opposite ideas. One of the sources that complimented one another was the media reflections about dreams. When the photo was of the woman sleeping and closing her eyes, as an audience you have no idea what could be going on in her head, but that is also the same as conscious dreaming. You may think you know someone, but their hopes and dreams could be completely contradicting of their personality. I think this project has inspired myself and hopefully the audience to really acknowledge their dreams and make them a reality. At the beginning of the tapestry I wanted to find out what subconscious dreaming meant and why it happens but now I know that it should not be questioned, but instead embraced. To finally conclude, I think a world without dreams would be like being in a desert without water; absolutely un-bearable. Life can be hard at times but dreams can keep you going and can really help you take the oppurunity to turn your life around once and for all. So take the challenge, follow your dreams because you never know what may come out of them.

Novel Connections
LUCAS:
"That night I dreamed about the boy. It was raining. He was running on the beach and people were chasing him, throwing stones at him and calling him names, Gyppo! Thief! Dirty pervert! There were hundreds of them, brandishing sticks and lead pipes, shovels and rocks, whatever they could lay their hands on, their nightmare faces gripped with hate and streaked with tears of rain, Dirty gyppo! Dirty bastard! Jamie Tait was there, oiled, in his too-tight swimming trunks. Angel and Robbie were there. Lee Brendell, Bill, Dominic, Deefer, Simon, Dad, everyone from the island was there, all storming across the beach, screaming out for blood... and I was there too. I was with them. I was running with the mob."
Cait had this dream right after a really bad day. She had gone out to the town with Bill, Robbie, Angel and some others, and she really doesn't like hanging around witht that crowd. Bill, her long time friend, only wants to do drugs and drink lately, and hang around with a bunch of scums. This dream represents how scared Cait is to hang around with those type of people and be exactly like them. When it said, "I was running with the mob." it reperesented Cait becoming just like the scums. This shows how sleeping dreams can take on a different form and be how your life is in the past present or future. It shows how dreams can show your deepest fears, insecurities and emotions, just like Cait's dream.
