Henry David Thoreau quote #173 from A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers

In dreams we see ourselves naked and acting out our real characters even more clearly than we see others awake. But an unwavering and commanding virtue would compel even its most fantastic and faintest dreams to respect its ever wakeful authority as we are accustomed to say carelessly we should never have dreamed of such a thing. Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
