"Break of Day" and "The Circular Ruins"

I found both of these pieces, by Jorge Luis Borges, to be both interesting and unusual. The idea of dreams actually creating what surrounds us is very unusual. Although it is an unusual idea, I find it to be very fascinating and interesting. I like to think that dreams are very symbolic and have a much deeper meaning, but I have never thought about it in such a way that Borges does. Although we know that this life is not created by dreams, it is interesting to think about what it would actually be like if it were. Overall i enjoyed both pieces.
