Dreams quote

Like a man who catches at shadows or chases the wind, is the one who believes in dreams. What is seen in dreams is to reality what the reflection of a face is to the face itself.

BEN SIRA

Sirach 34:2-3


The dreamers are the saviours of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers. Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and know.

JAMES ALLEN

As a Man Thinketh


There pass the trav'lling dreams, and these my soul adores.

The aim of the dreamer, after all, is merely to go on dreaming and not to be molested by the world. His dreams are his protection against the world. But the aims of life are antithetical to those of the dreamer, and the teeth of the world are sharp.

JAMES BALDWIN

Dreams ought to produce no conviction whatever on philosophical minds. If we consider how many dreams are dreamt every night, and how many events occur every day, we shall no longer wonder at those accidental coincidences, which ignorance mistakes for verifications.

CHARLES CALEB COLTON

Lacon


Go nowhere on a horse that fades, for your dreams will betray you.

TANITH LEE

Night's Master


Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

THE ROLLING STONES

"Ruby Tuesday"


Do not talk much about your dreams until you have made them practicable.

WALTER MATTHEWS

"The Dreamer", Human Life from Many Angles


We see but in dreams the ideal.

HENRI CAZALIS

"Always"


Listen to the colour of your dreams.

THE BEATLES

Tomorrow Never Knows


The conclusion which is now forced upon me is that the dream is a sort of substitution for those emotional and intellectual trains of thought which I attained after complete analysis. I do not yet know the process by which the dream arose from those thoughts, but I perceive that it is wrong to regard the dream as psychically unimportant, a purely physical process which has arisen from the activity of isolated cortical elements awakened out of sleep.

SIGMUND FREUD

"Dreams Have a Meaning", Dream Psychology


The time may be long, the vehicle may be strange or unexpected. But if the dream is held close to the heart, and imagination is applied to what there is close at hand, everything is still possible.

ROBERT FULGHUM

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten


Waking was the most reliable part of a dream, as built into dreams as death is to life. You dream, you wake: you live, you die.

ALEX GARLAND

The Coma


Feeling lost? Take a dream and convert it into small goals, then start taking the steps to hit those goals.

Dreams were in the same bag as Meaning and Things Happening For A Reason and God.

GLEN DUNCAN

By Blood We Live


There is a psychological technique which makes it possible to interpret dreams, and ... if that procedure is employed, every dream reveals itself as a psychical structure which has a meaning and which can be inserted at an assignable point in the mental activities of waking life.

SIGMUND FREUD

The Interpretation of 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.

WILLIAM BLAKE

The Land of Dreams


Dreams were not messengers from the spirit world. They were simply the detritus of the brain's random firings during REM sleep.

DOUGLAS CARLTON ABRAMS

Eye of the Whale


Somehow, I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true.

WALT DISNEY

Dreams have led many astray, and those who believed in them have perished.
