Quote by Erich Fromm, The Forgotten Langu

We all dream; we do not understand our dreams, yet we act as if nothing strange goes on in our sleep minds, strange at least by comparison with the logical, purposeful doings of our minds when we are awake.

Summary

This quote by Erich Fromm highlights the intriguing nature of dreams and our behavior towards them. While we all experience dreams, we often cannot fully comprehend or interpret their meaning. Despite their mysterious and illogical nature, we rarely question or evaluate the strange occurrences within our dream world. Instead, we merely accept them as a normal part of our subconscious mind, separate from the rational and purposeful thoughts we have while awake. This quote reflects the dichotomy between our logical waking state and the puzzling ambiguity of our dream realm.

It was sometimes said that the grey-and-black mountain range which ran like a spine north to south down that part of Faerie had once been a giant, who grew so huge and so heavy that, one day, worn out from the sheer effort of moving and living, he had stretched out on the plain and fallen into a sleep so profound that centuries passed between heartbeats.

I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.
