Dreamworld

In the story, "Circular Ruins" and the poem, "Break of Day," the biggest link that I can find between them is this idea of life being some kind of dreamworld. In "Circular Ruins" a man fins some ruins in the jungle and when he falls asleep he dreams and manages to actually dream up a person who does not seem to that it is a dream. Then in "Break of Day" the author questions whether we, ourselves, are actually living in a dream world and tries to find a reason for it all. He mentions that god could just take it all away in a second and looks for a reason why we are still here. In both of the pieces of writing I believe that the author brings up the idea of a dreamworld in order bring up the big question of the meaning of life.
