Dreaming Quotes

“To sit and dream, to sit and read,
To sit and learn about the world
Outside our world of here and now--
Our problem world--
To dream of vast horizons of the soul
Through dreams made whole,
Unfettered, free--help me!
All you who are dreamers, too,
Help me to make
Our world anew.
I reach out my dreams to you.”
― Langston Hughes

“Let It
I have a rule about not thinking where I am or what comes next. I guess when you let go of the need to know, everything tends to fall into place. It is okay to dream, to allow your higher self to take care of the rest.So, if something is calling you, answer. If it bursts out of your chest like a trapped bird set free, follow it. There is a mysterious pull that longs to take you exactly where you need to go. Let it.”
― Lang Leav, September Love

“A light, actually powered by the eel's electricity, flashes across a panel built on top of the tank to show when the eel is hunting or stunning prey....The eel was fast asleep. Then suddenly we saw the voltmeter flash.

"He is asleep," Scott answered. And then we both realized what was happening.
The eel was dreaming.”

“He was tormented by his dreams, dreaming of Emerald seducing him. She tied him to the bed frame, kissing her way from his mouth down to his belly, taking her time, making him wild with need before taking his throbbing erection into her mouth. She brought him to the brink before easing back and leaving him wanting, while she rubbed her breasts in his face, then lowering herself onto him and riding his cock until they were both spent.

He dreamed of her growing large with his child, living together and making a family with him and the girls. Then she disappeared. He was shattered, searching for her, missing her desperately.”

How do we know the difference between our real life and our dreaming (reading) life? What happens when the line gets blurred?”

“There are two special moments in a day i love the most
The moment Before i wake up, the feeling of existment and happinesse
like a little kid, the rush of adrenaline into my body, the beating of my heart so fast,
and the feeling of your arms upon my chest, and then the whisper of my heart " is hse real or are we still dreaming".

the end of the day, i crave you like an addict to drugs
Missing your beatiful face, the way you smile, the way you look at me
Missing the sound of your voice, the way you smell, your soft skin
Missing how your body shakes when my lips touch your skin.

Me”
― Benmerzoug
