Fairytale: a recollection of one's subconscious reality
In recent class discussions, it is evident that a clear, concise definition of what "fairy tales" are, is constantly changing. However, there are recurring themes that help provide a sense of direction when discussing fairytales. Of these themes, we have found that most, if not all fairytales are dreamed of first.
I believe that "subconscious reality" is simply a more profound way of saying "dreams". Because dreams occur during the sleeping process, or even 'daydreaming', which happens when your brain is in a lax state, it is labeled as being unconscious. With that unconsciousness, your subconscious, repressed thoughts come alive and play out according to your inner mental processes. Fairytales all surround and involve the supernatural world as well as some elements of reality.
Therefore, it is my strong belief that fairytales are simply the engines used to express what everyone is really thinking. It also allows us to understand how connected everyone is, ultimately.
