Quote by Stephen King

Dreams are the psyche's way of taking a good dump every now and then. And that people who dream - or don't dream in a way they can often remember when they wake up - are mentally constipated in some way.

Dreams are the psyche's way of taking a good dump every now

Summary

This quote suggests that dreams serve as a psychological release, similar to the act of taking a physical dump. It implies that individuals who do not dream frequently or fail to remember their dreams may be experiencing some form of mental blockage or stagnation. The comparison between dreams and excretion implies that dreaming is necessary for maintaining psychological well-being and that those who lack vivid dreams may be mentally "constipated" in some manner.
