The world is seldom what it seems; to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.

Dreams have always expanded our understanding of reality by challenging our boundaries of the real, of the possible.

Our dreaming capacity gives us a peep into the glorious realities that await us further on. It is the evidence of things possible to us.

I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams... Man... is above all the plaything of his memory.

In the dream state, the only essential difference from waking is the relative absence of sensory input, which makes dreaming a special case of perception without sensory input.

There comes a point when a dream becomes reality and reality becomes a dream.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Most of us accept that although we may believe our dreams to be real events, upon waking, we can tell the difference between nocturnal hallucinations and reality.
