Steve Lyons quote #65 from Doctor Who: The Stealers of Dreams
The doctor will tell you that all fiction is harmful that the pleasure we find in good dreams is more than offset by the terror when those dreams go bad. I say even the bad dreams are good for us. Theres something alluring about monsters about things that hide at the foot of your bed and go bump in the night. If there werent we wouldnt dream about them. We want to experience that thrill taste that fear. Theres nothing wrong with a healthy scare. It sets our hearts racing unleashes our adrenalin lets us know we are alive. For after all what could be more exciting-more stimulating- than tackling those monsters head on. In our dreams we can do that we can have that excitement and yet be protected. OUr dreams cant hurt us.
