While reading this essay I just became confused because by the end I wasn't sure what her thoughts were on dreams. The one thing she was talking about that I did understand is how you experience deja vu and you think you've been somewhere before. A lot of times it turns out you've dreamt about something happening and when it does it seems like it has already happened to you. I found it weird how she dreamt about the fence with such detail and everything before she actually saw it in person. I do think, however, that many people have dreams like this every night, they just don't always remember them when they wake up. So we all get these deja vu moments a lot, but don't always understand why.
I liked the quote she put in there from Adam Phillips, "It is impossible to imagine desire without obstacles...". I think that is so true because having obstacles in the way of something makes you want it more and more, and the less that's in the way to get something, the less you desire it. Also at the very end of the essay the author had said that if she were an animal, she would want to be a skunk. It's true that they can spray people, eat anything like out of the garbage, and not worry about too many animals bothering them, but out of all animals that's the one she would pick? I just think that's so weird because there are so many other animals to choose from.
