“ Vain vision! when the changing world each day Sees some such lordly pleasance pass away; When the mere stripling knows my symbols all Worn tokes, heaven hypothetical, Nature indifferent, and the dreams of men Figments of longing which we must condemn. Yet keep these plants, O Man! a kinder time May yet be moved by them to better rhyme, Or moved, like me, to place his pleasure low, On the firm Earth, whence Men and Blossoms grow. Ruth Pitter Poet
“ I had a dream my life would be different from this hell I am living, so different from what it seemed. Now life has killed the dream I dreamed. Victor Hugo Poet
“ The general function of dreams is to try to restore our psychological balance by producing dream material that re-establishes, in a subtle way, the total psychic equilibrium. Carl Jung Psychiatrist
“ A piece of creative writing, like a day-dream, is a continuation of, and a substitute for, what was once the play of childhood. Sigmund Freud Neurologist
