Quote by Pedro Calderon de la Barca

For all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

For all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only drea

Summary

This quote suggests that life itself is like a dream, and that even our dreams â€“ the ones we have while sleeping â€“ are merely illusions. It implies that both reality and our desires are fleeting and intangible, emphasizing how transient and ephemeral our human existence is. In a philosophical sense, it can be interpreted as a reminder of the impermanence of everything, urging us to not become too attached or caught up in the illusions and fantasies we create within our minds.
