We are near waking when we
dream we are dreaming.
?Novalis
I woke at intervals until . . . the
intervals of waking tipped the scales, and
I was more often awake than not.
?Annie Dillard
Hope is the pillar that holds up the world.
Hope is the dream of a waking man.
?Pliny the Elder
I do not know how to distinguish
between our waking life and a dream.
Are we not always living
the life that we imagine we are?
?Henry David Thoreau
In some parts of Ireland the sleep which
knows no waking is always followed
by a wake which knows no sleeping.
?Mary Wilson Little
