No Dreams Are Wasted

‘The map of the imaginable world is drawn only in dreams. The universe perceived through our senses is an infinitely small one.’ - Charles Nodier, Rêveries

‘The possibility suggests itself that no dreams, however absurd or senseless, are wasted in the universe. Embedded in the dream is a hunger for its own reification, a demand that imposes an obligation on reality and that grows imperceptibly into a bona-fide claim, an IOU clamouring for payment.’ -Bruno Schulz
