DREAM ON –   PART 2

Quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson:

“Dreams have a poetic integrity and truth. This limbo and dust-hole of thought is presided over by a certain reason, too. Their extravagance from nature is yet within a higher nature. They seem to suggest an abundance and fluency of thought not famliar to the waking experience…A skillful man reads his dreams for his self-knowledge; yet not the details, but the quality. What part does he play in them–a cheerful, manly part, or a poor-driveling part? However monstrous and grotesque their apparitions, they have a substantial truth.”*

*(Emerson appears to be a take-it-on-the-chin-and-grin man.) I would not give him a passing grade for sensitivity or empathy, but just thought I’d share this one among many I will be sharing in the future.
