The great difficulty lies in trying to transpose last night’s moment to a day which has no knowledge of it.

Our entire history is merely the history of the waking life of man; nobody has yet considered the history of his sleeping life.

I’ve dreamed enough to have a drink.

Night affords the most convenient shade for works of darkness.

Some nights are like honey—and some like wine—and some like wormwood.

Each night’s new terror drives away the terror of the night before.

For most of us, nighttime dreaming brings us closer to our identities and our power than any activity in the waking world.
