Summary

This quote suggests that people's deviant behavior often originates from their dreams, which are characterized by their non-linear nature. It implies that societal norms and expectations often impose a desire for linear patterns and structured plots in life. However, dreams, being highly flexible and unbounded, may subconsciously encourage individuals to engage in non-conventional or deviant actions. The quote highlights the potential influence of dreams in shaping human behavior, especially when it challenges the notion of a rigidly plotted life trajectory.
