Essays / The motif of dreams vs. reality - writing a motif essay? [5]

Writing prompt:

How does the motif of dreams vs. reality support the complexity of the play? Select one scene in A Midsummer Night's Dream that exemplifies the use of this motif as apart adding value to the whole of the play.

What is complexity? Can someone please give me a few steps as to how to write this essay? My english teacher kind of just threw it at us...

Essays / The motif of dreams vs. reality - writing a motif essay? [5]

Ok, I've done some research and I think the scene where Hermia wakes up from a nightmare to find Lysander gone and in love with Helena is a good choice. It exemplifies the use of the motif because Hermia wakes up from a DREAM and that dream symbolizes what's happening in reality. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). But I'm really not sure how this scene is apart adding value to the whole of the play. Could you help me with that aspect?
