Did you ever have a dream you were dreaming? You know. In your dream ... in you're dream you're having a dream. Dreams are the nearest univers parallele. Like the universe next door. So when you dream, you're really entering the universe next door. But if you dream you're dreaming, that's the universe NEXT to the universe next door ...

Dreams that are realized become an inspiration for new endeavor. It is in the power to make the dream good that we find the hope of this world.

ORISON SWETT MARDEN

He Can Who Thinks He Can


Dreams are symbolic in order that they cannot be understood; in order that the wish, which is the source of the dream, may remain unknown.

CARL JUNG

Psychology of the Unconscious


The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

MUHAMMAD ALI

Esquire, Feb. 2012


Sleep is in contact with the Possible, which we also call the improbable. The world of the night is a world. Night, as night, is a universe.... The dark things of the unknown world become neighbors of man, whether by true communication or by a visionary enlargement of the distances of the abyss ... and the sleeper, not quite seeing, not quite unconscious, glimpses the strange anomalities, weird vegetation, terrible or radiant pallors, ghosts, masks, figures, hydras, confusions, moonless moonlights, obscure unmakings of miracle, growths and vanishings within a murky depth, shapes floating in shadow, the whole mystery which we call Dreaming, and which is nothing other than the approach of an invisible reality. The dream is the aquarium of Night.

VICTOR HUGO

Travailleurs de la Mer


If you do not fear God, then fear your dreams, because they're how He talks to you.

TIM LEBBON

Face


There are men who would do anything, asleep, and I'm not sure what stops them when they wake. I do not know how they draw the line.

ANNE ENRIGHT

The Gathering


What I want to do is travel deep and deeper into the dreamlands, to find that place that I know is waiting for me here. My home.

CHARLES DE LINT

The Onion Girl


When the desire is too much to bear, we often bury it beneath frenzied thoughts and activities or escape it by dulling our immediate consciousness of living. It is possible to run away from the desire for years, even decades, at a time, but we cannot eradicate it entirely. It keeps touching us in little glimpses and hints in our dreams, our hopes, our unguarded moments.

GERALD G. MAY

The Awakened Heart


Between the dreams of night and day there is not so great a difference.

CARL JUNG

Psychology of the Unconscious


Hear in a realm of wordless dreams--
That inner life which knows and thinks;
My thirsty spirit comes and drinks
The petal dew of golden streams;
Where death is less than what it seems,
And life is subtler than the Sphinx.

HENRY ABBEY

"May Dreams"


The world would not have advanced very far had it not been for the contributions of its dreamers. It would never have gained its steamboat, nor its Atlantic cable, nor its wireless telegraph, nor its electric light. It would never have acquired any really great enterprise. For a little enterprise may be rustled and worried into being: but a really great program or movement or business must be dreamed.

BRUCE FAIRCHILD BARTON

More Power to You


I have observed dreams and visions very carefully, and am now certain that the imagination has some way of lighting on the truth that the reason has not, and that its commandments, delivered when the body is still and the reason silent, are the most binding we can ever know.

WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Ideas of Good and Evil


Dreams are pegs for Superstition and Romance to hang their cloaks upon.

ELIZA COOK

Diamond Dust


Dreams may be impossible, yet still be dreamed.

ISAAC ASIMOV

Foundation and Earth


The dream deceives; it leads to confusions; it is illusory. But it is not erroneous.

MICHEL FOUCAULT

Madness & Civilization


If you're smart, then your dreams evolve, too.

MARIO BATALI

Esquire, Jun. 2004


One use of dreams is that, unprejudiced by our often forced and artificial reflections, they represent the impartial outcome of our entire being.

GEORG CHRISTOPH LICHTENBERG

"Notebook J", The Waste Books


Wise men have interpreted dreams, and the gods have laughed.

H. P. LOVECRAFT

"Hypnos"


It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.
