I heard something about Alice In Wonderland Syndrom and heard it referenced to the person who made the book. They say he had it and felt no one understood him, so he decided to write a story based on his symptoms.
"A psychopathological syndrome of distorted space, time and body image. The patient has a feeling that the entire body or parts of it have been altered in shape and size (metamorphosis), associated with visual hallucinations.
Psychoanalytic interpretation by Todd has made more understandable and plausible the illusionary dreams, feeling of levitation, and alteration in the sense of passage of time that Alice experienced. Alice trod the paths and byways of a wonderland well known to Carroll, her creator, who suffered severely from migraine. The majority of patients have personal or family history of migraine.
In Lippman’s report, one of the patients stated that she felt short and wide as she walked, calling this a ”tweedlike dum” or ”tweedle dee” feeling. Associated disorders may include apraxia, agnosia, language disorders, feelings of déjà vu or jamais vu, dreamlike or trancelike states, and delirium.
The disorder was first described in 1955 by the English psychiatrist John Todd (1914-1987), who named it for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland."
Neat, huh?
By the way, I think everyone's opinions of this song are great. Music is the greatest gift in the world; it brings people together to share their thoughts and ideas. Music is about expression and raw emotion. It's wonderful everyone takes it in differently. Keep music alive! <3
Great music!!!!! | Reviewer: Matt K. | 12/31/2007
I always thought this was Airplanes best song. Yes....it's about drugs....but then again what wasnt about drugs back in '68. If you watch the Vietnam movie (Platoon) with charlie sheen, you'll see him smoking pot while this song plays.Still an awesome song 40 years later, and in my mind ranks beside Jim Morrison's Light my Fire '67

Proof of a great song... | Reviewer: Lucifer66 | 12/22/2007
Wow! I can't believe after all these years the debate about this song is still raging strong.
Although I was only a kid back when this song came out, I did live through, (somehow) the drug culture that spawned this and much other great music of the era. And I allways understood this song refered to a teen that was tripping while reading the book. As for the author of the book...who knows if he did drugs, but that wasn't the point.
Part of the reason it is a great song (besides the wonderful music it was put to) is because it leaves the listener to interpet it in thier own way. It gives you clues to a story and your imagination fills in the blanks, making the listener part of the story.
So make of it what you will...bottom line is "Feed your head". What you feed it is up to you.
drugs | Reviewer: Jess | 12/24/2007
The song is very much about drugs...
"And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low"
"remember what the doormouse said, feed your head"
I took a class on music history and meaning, and we studied this song. Its not about vietnam, if it is? how? Point out one thing that makes it about vietnam. my mom told me it was about drugs and shes from that generation. (A lot of songs from this time have the drumming in the background.)
It's about drugs... | Reviewer: nicole | 12/17/2007
i don't even do drugs and when i heard this song that was my impression... it has a stoner type music and c'mon let's be honest... Alice HAD to be on pretty cheap drugs for the trip she took lol. Great song though. :)
Does it matter | Reviewer: purple haze | 12/15/2007

Damn kids | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/14/2007
It was about Vietnam. I am a veteran from San Francisco and this song is about Vietnam...hence the soldiers drumroll in the background. I lived through it and anybody from my generation would tell you the same damn thing
