My best dreams and worst nightmares have the same people in them.

Philippos Syrigos

Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly, but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart.

Yann Martel

All the dreams I dream are nightmares and those nightmares are the ones I live.

Keanu Reeves

I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.

Jonas Salk

They've promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.

Oscar Wilde

I've never forgotten him. Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly, but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart. I still cannot understand how he could abandon me so unceremoniously, without any sort of goodbye, without looking back even once. The pain is like an axe that chops my heart.

Yann Martel

Those with the greatest awareness have the greatest nightmares.

Mahatma Gandhi

Dreams were the worst. Of course I dreamed of food and love, but they were pleasant rather than otherwise. But then I'd dream of things like slitting a baby's throat, mistaking it for a baby goat. I'd have nightmares of other islands stretching away from mine, infinities of islands, islands spawning islands, like frogs' eggs turning into polliwogs of islands, knowing that I had to live on each and every one, eventually, for ages, registering their flora, their fauna, their geography.

Elizabeth Bishop

I love that vein which uses sci-fi to address society's problems. It is the same when you have useful nightmares - things morph, and you get to confront issues in your dreams.

Bill Pullman

My dreams are of water. And my nightmares.

Siouxsie Sioux

I work with my dreams or nightmares.

David Cronenberg

Nightmares are distinctly different from dreams in the way that people feel them and experience them. So a lot of people think that a nightmare is something where something is chasing them and you have to wake up screaming. Yes, that's one of the more common nightmares that we see is the person chasing someone or they're being chased.
