Midsummer Night's Dream

As indicated by the title, Dreams are a key theme for Midsummer Night's Dream. They are linked to the bizarre mishaps in the forest. This theme of dreams reoccurs throughout the story/play in a way for the characters to explain the strange happenings that are occurring. The entire plot of Midsummer Night's Dream is questioned to be real, and considered to just have been a dream.
"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
no more yielding
but a dream..."

I like how you pointed out the dream aspect. Love is like a dream.In most of our dreams, we tend to do silly things or out of the norm actions; and that is what the power of love does as well. Love makes a person act is if he or she were in a dream
