If you enter the life of dreams, O Soul, do not place your happiness in it, nor in the spectacle it exhibits to you, and do not suppose that it is real: else, when you wake, you will be a laughing-stock. The world of things that come to be and cease to be is a world of dreams. He who is asleep and dreaming (in the literal sense) in this world is in reality dreaming doubly; and when he wakes (in the literal sense), he is like a man who has been awakened from an ‘incidental' sleep, but has given himself up again to his 'natural' sleep.
- Hermes
