“In dreams you don't need to make any distinctions between things. Not at all. Boundaries don't exist. So in dreams there are hardly ever collisions. Even if there are, they don't hurt. Reality is different. Reality bites. Reality, reality.”

“That dream belongs to You. So go out there and make it a reality.”

“I would want a dreaming machine that dreams up the most beautiful dreams and then show me exactly how to make them a reality…This is the eternal conundrum: the visualization of desires (dreams), and then the dissonance between that and reality.”

“Reality - Dreams = Animal Being
Reality + Dreams = A Heart-Ache (usually called Idealism)
Reality + Humor = Realism (also called Conservatism)
Dreams - Humor = Fanaticism
Dreams + Humor = Fantasy
Reality + Dreams + Humor = Wisdom”

“There comes a point when a dream becomes reality and reality becomes a dream.”

“I don't think there is any difference between fantasy and reality in the way these should be approached in a film. Of course if you live that way you are clinically insane.”

“The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not.”

“We are beginning to see the influence of dream upon reality and reality upon dream.”

“And now that I've arrived here thanks to my dreams / what should I do with reality? / And now that I don't even have my illusions / I don't even care about truth.”

“Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality”
