Anne Lamott quote #52 from Imperfect Birds

With THC in your system you dont dream. And you need to. Otherwise it is like losing one of your senses. Dreams are part of your wholeness. ... when youre dreaming youre not the one calling the shots. So its a reprieve. ... the dream world had rules in it. You couldnt read a clock in your dreams. It would not give you the time. If the lights were on in a room you could not turn them off in a dream. ... in indigenous tribes all over the world the dream world was like church. p. 247

Nicole Baart quote #10 from Summer Snow

I wanted so much when I was young. I was an endless abyss of want of need of desperate dreams for myself that defied logic. The promise of what was to come hung like rings around the moon on clear autumn nights the future was unmistakeable. It was always there glistening in the dark and suggesting that life was little more than climbing a ladder into the sky where I could reach up with one hand and secure everything that I had ever hoped for in my grasping fingers.Oh I dreamed.And they are not easy to give up these dreams.

Erik Larson quote #133 from In the Garden of Beasts: Love

Germans grew reluctant to stay in communal ski lodges fearing they might talk in their sleep. They postponed surgeries because of the lip-loosening effects of anesthetic. Dreams reflected the ambient anxiety. One German dreamed that an SA man came to his home and opened the door to his oven which then repeated every negative remark the household had made against the government.

Naomi Alderman quote #13 from Doctor Who: Borrowed Time

The thing about the Lexington International Bank ladder was that it was very long and climbing it was very exhausting and so Andrew Brown didnt have a lot of time to think about whether he really wanted to get to the top of itand besides since so many other people were climbing too the view from the top must be worth it.So he kept going. He worked hard. He put his heart and mind and soul into it. There was an opening for a position half a rung higher than he already was. With a promotion he might get two hours a week of a secretarys time. Hed go to more important meetings with more senior people and have the opportunity to impress them and if he did he might be promoted again and then... well of course eventually hed be running the whole office. Its important to have a dream otherwise you might notice where you really are.
