Our dreams are a second life. I have never been able to penetrate without a shudder
those ivory or horned gates which separate us from the invisible world.

- - - Gérard de Nerval, Aurélia, 1855 - - -

What dreaming does is give us the fluidity to enter into other
worlds by destroying our sense of knowing this world.

- - - Carlos Castaneda - - -

A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets,
some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can
and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.

- - - W. H. Auden - The Dyer's Hand - - -

There is a Spirit who is awake in our sleep and creates the wonder of dreams.
He is Brahman, the Spirit of Light, who in truth is called the Immortal.
All the worlds rest on that Spirit and beyond him no one can go.

- - - Katha Upanishad - - -

'All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the
dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may
act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.'
