Quote by Eugene Ionesco
The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.
Summary

They suggest that memories, similar to dreams, provide a faint and fragile illumination to our experiences. The ambiguity between dreaming and remembering blurs the lines between what is real and what is imagined, leaving the speaker feeling uncertain about the authenticity of their existence. Through this introspective observation, the speaker realizes that the world and its fleeting moments are ephemeral, much like a mere reflection in flowing water.
