Alice in Wonderland is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. The whole story is one big fantasy filled with talking animals, talking deck of cards, and most importantly, underlying morals and themes.
It is revealed at the end that the whole story occurred in Alice's dream, explaining the nonsensical and deviating events in the story. The narrative is Alice's subconscious at work, interpreting real world observations and experiences in its own way and form through various disparate episodes.
Our subconscious also does the same for us, the audience, in the form of dreams. Our dreams often takes place as a way for us to explore our thoughts, observations, and experiences. The scenarios that takes place in our dreams may help us come to understand whats troubling us or may come off as a nonsensical folly like the literary classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
