Hope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of a waking man.

Pliny the Elder

Because waking I often observe the absurdity of dreams, but never dream of the absurdities of my waking thoughts, I am well satisfied that being awake, I know I dream not; though when I dream, I think myself awake.

Thomas Hobbes

[Hope is] the dream of a waking man.

Aristotle

Waking up from a dream of violence is much the same as waking up from a dream of love. You must go on living your life.

Wendell Berry

The question was put to him, what hope is; and his answer was, "The dream of a waking man."

Diogenes

Hope is a waking dream.' I let the words echo in my head. The quote reminded me of that feeling you get when you start to wake from a dream you don't want to leave. That crushing sensation in the center of your chest, like you are losing an important piece of yourself you won't ever get back.

Jennifer Rush

When your attention moves into the Now, there is an alertness. It is as if you were waking up from a dream, the dream of thought, the dream of past and future. Such clarity, such simplicity. No room for problem-making. Just this moment as it is.

Eckhart Tolle

When we dream, we create. All of life is a dream or a series of waking dreams. We dream our surroundings. We dream our friends, our relations. We dream our bodies. We dream our dreams.

Frederick Lenz

During our dreams we do not know we are dreaming. We may even dream of interpreting a dream. Only on waking do we know it was a dream. Only after the great awakening will we realize that this is the great dream.

Zhuangzi

Sometimes, upon waking, the residual dream can be more appealing that reality, and one is reluctant to give it up. For a while, you feel like a ghost -- Not fully materialized, and unable to manipulate your surroundings. Or else, it is the dream that haunts you. You wait with the promise of the next dream.

Craig Thompson

Waking was the most reliable part of a dream, as built into dreams as death is to life. You dream, you wake: you live, you die.

Alex Garland

If all be a Dream, then he doth but dream that he makes the Question; and so it is not much matter that a waking Man should answer him.

John Locke

The whole world is a dream; even this (the waking state) is a dream ... What you dreamt last night does not exist now.

Sarada Devi

I'm sure that there are many Israelis who dream of waking up one day to find the Palestinians gone. And there are many Palestinians who dream of going to bed at night and waking up the next morning to find the Israelis gone.

Daniel Barenboim

A novel is what you dream in your night sleep. A novel is not waking thoughts although it is written and thought with waking thoughts.

Gertrude Stein

If I feel like crying, I'll just cry in a dream. Something I really try not to do in my waking hours. I like good melodrama because it's just an undumping of all these compulsions we feel that we work so hard to master during our waking hours. No wonder we crash to sleep in bed at night. We have to, otherwise we'd just spend our waking hours shredding the feelings from everybody else.
