Sleep & dreams

Sleep & dreams. The landscape & scenery of dreams seem not to fit us but like a cloak or coat of some other person to overlap & encumber the wearer. So is the ground, the road, the house in dreams. Too long or too short. & if it served no other purpose would at least show us how accurately Nature fits man awake.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
