In the book, Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte’, the main character Jane Eyre is a young mistrest going through problems with herslef, and the men in her life. Jane never has had any parents and as a child lived with her Aunt Reed, who never liked her and treated her as a worker. As she grew older she moved to Thornfeild to be a mistress and found herslef falling in love with Mr. Rotchester. She, as a living person, whithdrawls a number of significant dreams and day dreams. These dreams aren’t nonefficient to her life though, they forshadow many events in her future and anylize her thoughts. As Jane encounters Thornfeild and the events Mr. Rotchester has enccountered, she uses a saying from her old governess Bessie, towards her dreams. Bessie herself has experienced this saying. "To dream of children was a sure sign of trouble, either to one's self or one's kin"(26), and the next day Bessie trajicly discovers that her sister had died. Dreams for Jane serve as representaions of events in her life that just like Bessies, will cause a pause in herh life. She Later starts having dreams of infants and childeren when realizing her and Mr Rochesters love. She starts thinking about what may happen to the two them in the future, a walk a round the garden may have changed Jane’s way of dreaming for the passed week and life. She describes her dreams of an “infant: which [she] sometimes hushed in [her] arms, sometimes dandled on [her] knee, sometimes [she] watched playing with daisies on a lawn; or again, dabbling its hands in running water.” But as the nights progress the baby shows emmotions as “ a wailing child ..., and a laughing one the next: now it nestled close to me, and now it ran from [her]."( ) Remembering Bessie’s belifes towards dreams of babies and trouble, she wakes up from her dream from a loud almost murduring sound of Bertha Mason, Mr Rochesters wife locked in the attic. Sadly day after this incident,she learns her cousin John has died and her Aunt Reed is lying on her death bed. This shows that her dreams do exaplify events and troubles acuring in her life and that her old goverenss Bessie was right, a dream of yourself with a infant will result in a drastic change that will change or lead so another thing in you life, but this is not the only time this accures in Jane Eyres lifetime. Mr. Rochester later proposes to Jane and , now engaged, keeps the dreams of infants still coming. The first dream Jane runs into is symbolizing a strange barrior of some kind in her life. This can be directly related to her relationship to Mr Rochester and the secrets he is hiding from Jane. She dreams she is carrying a bawling infant on a road she has never seen before, Mr Rochester is ahead of her and she tries to catch up to him, but her steps get slower instead of faster and Mr Rochester gets farther away. This may have forshadowed that while Jane is tryign to get to know Mr rochester and his past, he will always run away from the subject and Jane will never get to know about Bertha in the attic. Again, Jane has a dream, but this time it is about Thornfeild being destroied to peices. She walks around the trashed estate holding tightly to the infant in ehr arms because she"might not lay it down anywhere, however tired were my arms however much its weight impeded my progress" ( ). Mr Rochester is again running away from her, which must mean he is still hiding his past. Because he is running away Jane trys to catch up and climbs a wall to hold a sight of him. During this proccess the infant is clutching her neck. When she reaches the top of the wall it breaks and falls, only seeing a speck to represent Mr Rochester. Her and the infant fall as she wakes up. This could represent how Jane keeps falling inlove with Mr. Rochester but he keeps pulling her with him and trying to get her into his life. Kind of like a scam to get her into a trap, like the wedding. Later after this dream she also comes to trouble like Bessie said. During thier wedding Mr. Mason breaks it up by telling Jane about Bertha in the attic to which Mr rochester is leggaly married to. The destroied Thornfeild in ehr dream turns into reality as later in the book when she comes back to find Mr. Rochester and she states, it is a “blackened ruin”,"as [she] had once seen in a dream". Dreams keep attacking Jane in her sleep and another one comes that effects her with a huge decision, it leads her to leave Thornfeild. The dream is as if she was in the passed in the redroom. As she looks up into the ceiling it turns into coulds an a woman appears and says "My daughter, flee temptation!" ( ). Again Janes emotions are expressed through her dream of wanting to leave Thornfield but she then gets another dream. But this time it wasnt a dream, it was a daydream, as if she directly herd Mr Rochesters voice calling to her even though they were miles away. Mr. Rochester yells "Jane! Jane! Jane!" "I am coming: wait for me!"( ). Instantly at this moment she knew what to do. Mr. Rochester speeking to her like that had her leave and find him. She instantly left with no thought to go find him. Throughout Jane’s life she has been dreaming, and each dream she has is significant to what her future holds for her and what it means. She may not notice, but Bessie had warned her for what might happen and it came through. Jane listens to her dreams at points and does what they mean towards the end. This shows she is learning from her dreams and is recognizing what they do to her and what they mean. Dreams play a major part because they can change the storty instantly and effect Jane’s opinions on things.
