I asked a group of ten people who've experienced Alice in Wonderland in various formats of media. I then asked them whether they consider a nightmare or a dream, six answered with dream and 4 answered with nightmare. As you can see the majority saw it as a dream however I believe that this is down to there personal experience of Wonderland. I believe this because of there replies as to why they thought it was a nightmare or dream.
When I asked why they thought it was a dream rather than a night mare they said that because it is presented as weird and wacky it makes it very appealing. This suggests that I should make my character aesthetically pleasing as have a unique quirk to reflect the dream element to my character.
In contrast the people who said that it was more a nightmare thought that this made the world very dangerous and threatening. They also said there was no control or consistency throughout the world which also scared them. Through this I learnt that there personal opinion on the world was dependant on there view of it for example, those you thought the world have no control or consistency feared it however those you thought it was a dream liked this whacky element. This I feel shows to me that when it comes to dream like environments it become very personal to the person. This is why I feel I should make the character very personal to me and my dream experiences to get the most effective representation.
