“There are some dreams that get stuck between your teeth when you sleep, so that when you open your mouth to yawn awake they fly right out of you.”

“In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes when you awake in the morning”

“When you sleep, your dream world is as real to you as life, isn’t it?”

“What you hope for
Is that at some point of the pointless journey,
Indoors or out, and when you least expect it,
Right in the middle of your stride, like that,
So neatly that you never feel a thing,
The kind assassin Sleep will draw a bead
And blow your brains out.”

“I see nightmares when I sleep and I dream about you when I'm awake.”

“When you stood between somebody you loved and death, it was hard to be awake and it was hard to sleep.”

“You're afraid of imagination and even more afraid of dreams. Afraid of the resposibility that begins in dreams. But you have to sleep and dreams are a part of sleep. When you're awake you can suppress imagination but you can't supress dreams.”

“My time's too short to waste on
Things you say without your brain.
Will you paint works of art
When you speak?
When you open your mouth
Will I weep?”

“A dream will fly
The moment that you open up your eyes.
A dream is just a riddle,
Ghosts from every corner of your life.”

“O dream on your black wings
you come when I am sleeping.”
