Helena is partially to blame for the confusion in the woods in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" because of her relentless pursuit of Demetrius despite his clear rejection. Her persistence in chasing after him leads to a chain of events that includes Oberon's interference with a love potion, which further complicates the romantic entanglements among the characters. Helena's actions contribute to the misunderstandings and chaos that ensue in the woods.

Where is there confusion in a midsummer night's dream?

There is plenty of confusion in Midsummer Night's Dream due to the actions of the fairies. The mechanicals are confused when Bottom head is transformed into a donkey's head. Helena is confused when Lysander starts professing love for her instead of Hermia. Hermia is confused when Lysander abandons her in the woods, and then repudiates her. Helena is further confused when Demetrius, who previously had been in love with Hermia, is suddenly in love with her. Much of this arises when, due to Oberon giving him inadequate instructions, Puck confusedly thinks that Lysander is the "Athenian youth" whose eyes are to be medicated with Love-in-Idleness

Can you help me with A Midsummer Night Dream question describe the experiences of the lovers in the woods which led them to believe that they had a dream after they had awaken?

OK, basically, I think the idea is to think of all the things that happened that seemed unreal. Basically these are all of the effects of the love potions: Lysander leaving Hermia for Helena, Demetrius falling for Helena and abandoning Hermia, Helena getting mad at everyone, Hermia getting mad at Helena, and the boys going off to fight each other. You would have to describe these things in more detail of course.
