BNW reading notes chapter 9

Lenina is disgusted by the Reservation
She swallowed six half-gramme tablets of soma
Eighteen hours at least before she woke up again
Bernard flew to Santa Fe Post Office
Bernard talks to Mustapha Mond to allow John and Linda enter the World State
John thought Bernard was gone “most terrible thing that had ever happened to him”
He found Lenina’s suitcase through the window
he flared with joy
The green slippers were the most beautiful things he had ever seen
He found Lenina sleeping / she looked beautiful
John then hurried outside when he heard the humming of the helicopter
In it was Bernard

Response to “Dream Within a Dream”

What I understand from the poem “Dream Within a Dream” is that it seems hard to understand what is a dream and what it real life. It is also really hard to remember what your dream was about even after you just woke up. No matter how had you try to remember it the less you seem to know what you were dreaming about and even the most basic details about it. The author also want to show how he would like to hold on to them for a long period of time so he can remember at least the good things in life, even if that comes from just a dream.
