"People interpret books in a logical way as they do dreams. They want it to have meaning. Alice in Wonderland is not to be read as a logical book. There could be some hidden meanings in there, especially considering Carroll was a mathematician during his lifetime, whether he was aware of such meanings subconsciously or not."

I never bought into the whole Alice drugs thing, however, growing up I have always encountered people who believed Alice was just tripping or something, and I always defended the story saying she was a little girl with an imagination and there were no drugs involved. I think this could make an interesting topic of discussion at one of our meetings, just because I'm curious about other people's takes on this theory.
