• The notion of dream interpretation far antedates the birth of psychoanalysis, and probably served an important function in most, if not all, historical societies.

• The only thing poverty does is grind down your nerve endings to a point that you can work harder and stoop lower than most people are willing to.

• As everyone knows, the ancients before Aristotle did not consider the dream a product of the dreaming mind, but a divine inspiration, and in ancient times the two antagonistic streams, which one finds throughout in the estimates of dream life, were already noticeable. They distinguished between true and valuable dreams, sent to the dreamer to warn him or to foretell the future, and vain, fraudulent, and empty dreams, the object of which was to misguide or lead him to destruction.

  Rasun

  All dreamers must awake
  On, then, with the dance

  Never look back.

• And I'm not sure why I'm infatuated with death,
  My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats...

  Really stuck in the scheme of wondering when I'mma rest.

• I, the dreamer clinging yet to the dream as the patient clings to the last thin unbearable ecstatic instant of agony in order to sharpen the savor of the pain's surcease, waking into the reality, the more than reality, not to the unchanged and unaltered old time but into a time altered to fit the dream which, conjunctive with the dreamer, becomes immolated and apotheosized

• You know a dream is like a river
  Ever changing as it flows.
  And a dreamer's just a vessel
  That must follow where it goes.
  Trying to learn from what's behind you
  And never knowing what's in store
  Makes each day a constant battle
  Just to stay between the shores.

  Garth Brooks

  And dreamed a dream that could not be;
  The waves that plunged along the shore
  Said only: "Dreamer, dream no more!"
