“What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.”

“The first few days I felt trapped in a constant twilight of vertigo, like in the dream where you're suddenly falling… only I was constantly falling. In moments of fitful sleep I was aware of the dim possibility that I would wake up, truly wake up, and this would not have happened.”

““Going to dance at my wake?”
“I don’t dance,” the lawyer answered, “but you tempt me to learn.””

“I never dreamed the sea so deep,
The earth so dark; so long my sleep,
I have become another child.
I wake to see the world go wild.”

“I always wake when you do, Sassenach; I sleep ill without ye by my side.”

“I was in my bed trying to figure out why sometimes you can wake up and go back to sleep and other times you can't”

“Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music: — Do I wake or sleep?”

“I want to go to sleep and not wake up, but I don't want to die. I want to eat like a normal person eats, but I need to see my bones or I will hate myself even more and I might cut my heart out or take every pill that was ever made.”

“The secret is not to dream," she whispered. "The secret is to wake up. Waking up is harder. I have woken up and I am real. I know where I come from and I know where I'm going. You cannot fool me any more. Or touch me. Or anything that is mine.”

“What if I travel so far away in my dreams that I can't get back in time to wake up?”
