"I came round to the windy hillside and the sniffing old clergyman mumbling 'Dust to dust, earth to earth, and my father's open grave. [...] "You also,' said a voice, and suddenly I was being forced towards the grave. I struggled, shouted, appealed to the mourners, but they continued stonily following the service; the old clergyman, too, never faltered, droning and sniffing through the ritual. I realized I was invisible and inaudible, that overwhelming forces had their grip on me. I struggled in vain, I was forced over the brink, the coffin rang hollow as I fell upon it, and gravel came flying after me in spadefuls. Nobody heeded me, nobody was aware of me. I had convulsive struggles and awoke." After reading the above, consider this statement: An invisible man has no more purpose or effect on others than a dead body. (1) How does his dream seem to communicate that idea? (2) In what way might this dream also function as foreshadowing?
