“His argument was this: that the results of a dream that are held by the waking mind to represent it are the opposite of a dream, the crucifixion of a dream, and further, that dreaming is not a category; every dream is the only one there ever was the only one there ever will be. That dreaming neither is nor can ever be a category — unless we are lying. And that this kind of lying breeds whole plethoras of insanities. Because the dream is the medicine against the waking mind, which proceeds by cuts and categorization, by accounting and metaphor, by tokens and symbols… which are a dream’s antitheses. Just as you would not give your heart to the one who will dissect it for the entertainment of bidders in the marketplace, you should not surrender your dream to description, explanation, or analysis.”
