Explain how each of the following motifs is connected to the theme in the book "Insurgent". Dreams, Waking up

We get a look into Tris's dreams many times over the course of this novel. Her most common dreams are about either killing Will or her deceased parents. From this, readers can infer that Tris's dreams are a manifestation of the guilt that she tries to block out during the day. She feels guilty for killing Will, but she tries to ignore that to keep moving on and doing what she has to do—as a result, it comes out in her dreams. She feels guilty that her parents sacrificed themselves for her, but she does not often think about that while conscious. Tris's dreams reveal a lot about her that readers do not get to see on the surface.

Another recurring motif in this work is Tris waking up from these dreams. Many chapters begin with Tris waking up, either from slumber or from induced unconsciousness, to a new, potentially dangerous situation. This is fitting, because there are so many horrors occuring in faction society that Tris must metaphorically "wake up" to. She must constantly cope with friends getting injured and dying, with secrets being revealed, with Jeanine and Erudite inflicting new horrors on everyone. Finally, Tris needs to "wake up" to the idea of an entirely new society, either one without factions that the factionless suggest, or one that exists beyond the fence.
