A Dream (n.) never repeats daily life with its labours and pleasures; its very aim is to free us from it, representing reality only in symbols.
A Dream (n.) is the mind's subjective activity appearing in objective form: our perception takes the products of our imagination for sense impressions.
Dreaming (n.) is the mind's free vitality, unlimited by individuality, uninterrupted by self-consciousness, undirected by self-determination — a holiday in which it gathers strength for the day.
A Name (n.) is the word that wakes a sleeper: an indifferent word leaves him undisturbed, but call him by name and he wakes — the mind in sleep sorts sensations by meaning.
Silence (n.) can wake a man: the miller is roused when his mill stops, the night-light sleeper when the light goes out — proof that the sleeper was listening all along.
Sleep (n.) signifies an end of the authority of the self.
Sleep (n.) as partial waking explains nothing: it says only that some mental forces are active and others at rest — and that variability holds throughout life.
Sleep (n.) is not an incapacity to interpret the senses but a lack of interest in them — the nursing mother wakes for her child, and anyone wakes for his own name.
