Summary

This quote suggests that dreams are not a divine message or a glimpse into a hidden truth. Instead, if a dream provides insight about oneself, it is not the dreamer who uncovers it but rather someone who has the clarity of mind to connect thoughts and make sense of the dream. Dreams are described as poetic illusions that sparkle amidst vague and uncertain elements.
