Title – and she dreamed A woman has fallen asleep on the couch.  She begins to dream about the funfair and different places she’s been including on the boat ride previously seen in the film.  Many of the images are superimposed or fade into each other to illustrate a dream-like image.  The film ends as the woman wakes up.
