Imaginative Journeys The Imaginative Journey is intangible and remains unlimited in the realms of the physical world by means of; time, reality and consciousness. It provides the ability for those who undertake such a journey to consider, and therefore in some cases understand, the cognitive processes of their own inner psyche. The poems; Samuel Taylor Coleridge's “Frost at Midnight” and “This Lime-Tree Bower my Prison” encapsulate such aspects of the imaginative journey. This is made possible by the fact that Coleridge provides the reader with an account of his personal experiences which limited him at first, but rather when he comes to terms with his predicament he is able to overcome these dilemmas. The children's novel Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce also portrays various aspects of the concept of imaginative travel, which are expressed through dreams in which we are free but while awake we remain oppressed. Finally, the short film AZ directed by Zenon Kohler, shown on the “Sony Trop-fest 2007 Finalist CD” offers the viewer a satirical example of the inner psyche working defiantly against logic, when in reality it is presented with obstacles and choices. “Frost at Midnight” is the imaginative journey of Coleridge, left alone with his son under the mystical effects of frost “carrying out its secret ministry.” He is catalyzed by the placidity of the environment, to imagine his childhood through the eyes of his child. In doing so she relives some of the joyful moments of her childhood, while also foreseeing some of the delights that would follow her son's upbringing. The tone of the poem is initially serene with “The inhabitants of my little house, all at rest… My cradled child sleeps peacefully” giving the reader a perception of absolute silence corresponding to the effects of the frost, drawing on feelings of serenity. The poem soon evolves into Coleridge reliving his childhood with memories such as "how often, at school... of my sweet birthplace, and the old steeple" which, carrying forward the proposition of Coleridge's youth, allows readers to get excited with his childhood, and embark on the journey with him in the environment in which he grew up. Coleridge continues to provide recollections of his youth, with vivid illustrations of his inquisitive nature: “Foreboding, I looked upon the bars…so sweetly that they stirred and haunted me, with a wild pleasure that fell upon my ear… Because I still hoped to see the stranger's face.
