Discuss what all of these references mean.

During the play we see a link between waking, sleeping and dreaming, the characters are often confused - are they in reality?

Water imagery is also used (lines 217-223), ebbing and flowing.

Ariel sings to wake Gonzalo, so music could be seen as a symbol of healing. Gonzalo hears it "And that a strange one too" (Lines 315-316). There again is another refer to "strange".


Can anyone help me and tell me what these references mean/symbolise in The Tempest?
