are there any books in which the storyline is told in such a way as to evoke a dream-like atmosphere? what i mean is, in a dream you have all these weird things going on, but when you're dreaming them they feel like the most rational thing in the world. and currently im working on a story for a graphic novel and im trying to evoke such an atmosphere, but would like examples for similar stuff if they exist.

I feel almost stupid pointing out something so obvious, but Alice and Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There have always seemed like what you're describing to me.
