Summary

This quote highlights the paradox of dreaming. While we experience vivid dreams and their illogical nature, we often struggle to comprehend or make sense of them. Despite this, during our waking hours, we ignore the strangeness of our dreams and continue with our daily activities as if they never occurred. This contrast emphasizes the stark difference between the chaotic and purposeless nature of our dreams and the rationality and intentionality we employ when awake.
