Summary

This quote by T.E. Lawrence suggests that everyone has dreams, but not all dreams are equal. It distinguishes between those who only dream at night, in the realm of their imagination, only to wake up to the harsh reality of their dreams being unreachable aspirations, and those who dream with a clear mind and open eyes during the day. The latter group is portrayed as dangerous because they have the ability to take action and work towards turning their dreams into a reality, making them capable of achieving great things.
