Quote by J. August Strindberg

I dream, therefore I exist.

I dream, therefore I exist.

Summary

This quote, attributed to the renowned philosopher RenÃ© Descartes, emphasizes the importance of dreaming in validating one's existence. It suggests that having dreams or aspirations is a fundamental aspect of being alive and individualistic. By dreaming, one demonstrates self-awareness, desire, and the ability to imagine possibilities beyond the present reality. Dreams fuel motivation and indicate the active nature of one's mind, asserting that through dreaming and striving for those dreams, a person affirms their own existence and purpose in life.
