Allowing the audience to see what the dreamer sees. And allowing the dream to be interpreted as a way to find ourselves. That's what I gathered from it. And why I find it to be the most dreamlike of the story.

    The film could be considered a dream film because it represents how the dreams give the sisters an illusion—communicating that it is the meaning of life. The film has the sisters dreaming but if it is oneiric I might have missed it because part of it seems to be. The pacing is timed due to the situation of the story, like the sister Agnes dying of cancer. The pacing for the dream sequences is part of how the sisters are trying to take care of each other and the biblical significance of it.
