One of the reasons i find alice in wonderland relevent to my work is the use and play with scale, i never knew that there as an actual syndrome named after this!
"...I began experiencing the symptoms described here in 1997 and at the time could find no information on the subject. This page exists to help those in similar circumstances. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS or AWS) describes a set of symptoms, the most famous of which are: * Alteration of body image: the sizes of parts of the body are perceived incorrectly. * Alteration of visual perception: the sizes of external objects are perceived incorrectly. Most reports are about children experiencing AIWS symptoms, though many people experience it in later life. Many people say they had AIWS symptoms as a child, but 'grew out' of them around their teens. The most common time to experience AIWS symptoms is at night." -Rik Hemsley
