So far Im leaning to writing about...
Alice is giving the illusion that she is in a different world in her dream, but i don't think she is dreaming because..when your sleep and then you start to dream your not able to see other people or speak to them, but i can hear them speak.
Another option is Alice's perception is way off through out the whole book she says she started talking to a caterpillar that was sitting on top of a mushroom smoking hookah caterpillars don't talk and never will. that's impossible she is very delusion.
Or I could do Reaction formation is one of the defense mechanisms, as it entails behaving completely contrary to how one truly feels. Whenever Alice's gets in a little trouble she starts to contradict herself . because she cry's her eyes out then she tells herself don't cry but then continues to cry because she just yelled at herself ...
You Choose !!
I believe that defense machanisms could be a form of protection toward alice's own emotions inside. But i also believe that you also brought up her perception, her view connected with defense machanisms:). I believe that your connections are good to work with.:)
