The details from the excerpt suggest that Alice is frustrated by Tweedledum’s logic. The use of "indignantly" implies that she feels strong emotion in response to Tweedledum's words, and her assertion "I AM real!" combined with her subsequent tears shows her distress and frustration about being dismissed as not real. This indicates that she is grappling with her identity and the implications of being part of a dream, leading her to feel upset rather than understanding or accepting Tweedledum's reasoning.

"If that there King was to wake," added Tweedledum, "you'd go out – bang! – just like a candle!"
"I shouldn't!" Alice exclaimed indignantly. . . .
"Well, it's no use YOUR talking about waking him," said Tweedledum, "when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real."
"I AM real!" said Alice and began to cry.
