- All that we see or seem
- Is but a dream within a dream.
- If I dream I have you, I have you,
- For, all our joys are but fantastical.
- Fanatics have their dreams, wherewith they weave
- A paradise for a sect.
- I have spread my dreams under your feet;
- Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
- Father, O father! what do we here
- In this land of unbelief and fear?
- The Land of Dreams is better far,
- Above the light of the morning star.
EDGAR ALLAN POE, A Dream Within a Dream
Dreams are more real than reality itself, they're closer to the self.
GAO XINGJIAN, Dialogue and Rebuttal
America just works better when more people have a chance to live their dreams.
BILL CLINTON, speech at Democratic National Convention, July 26, 2004
Dreaming men are haunted men.
STEPHEN VINCENT BENÉT, John Brown's Body
JOHN DONNE, The Dream
Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of the week.
WILLIAM DEMENT, Newsweek, Nov. 30, 1959
JOHN KEATS, The Fall of Hyperion
Follow your own particular dreams. We are handed a life by peers, parents and society, you can do that or follow your own dreams. Life is short, be a dreamer but be a practical person.
HUGH HEFNER, AskMen.com interview
If we couldn't dream, our lives wouldn't mean anything anymore.
GEORG KAISER, The Raft of the Medusa
WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
WILLIAM BLAKE, The Land of Dreams
The general function of dreams is to try to restore our psychological balance by producing dream material that re-establishes, in a subtle way, the total psychic equilibrium.
CARL JUNG, Man and His Symbols
