Mixing the Dream
It was dark now. The night had already begun. The BFG, with Sophie sitting on his hand,
hurried into the cave and put on those brilliant blinding lights that seemed to come from nowhere. He
placed Sophie on the table. ‘Stay there please,’ he said, ‘and no chittering. I is needing to listen only
to silence when I is mixing up such a knotty1 plexicated dream as this.’

And so it went on. In about half an hour the BFG had found all the dreams he wanted and had
tipped them into the one huge jar. He put the jar on the table. Sophie sat watching him but said
nothing. Inside the big jar, lying on the bottom of it, she could clearly see about fifty of those oval
sea-green jellyish shapes, all pulsing gently in and out, some lying on top of others, but each one still
