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. But really a novel goes as dreams go in sleeping at night and some dreams are like anything and some dreams are like something and some dreams change and some dreams are quiet and some dreams are not. And some dreams are just what any one would do only a little different always just a little different and that is what a novel is.

 
Gertrude Stein

Robertson Davies

Eckhart Tolle
 

Most people are even less original in their dreaming than in their waking life; their dreams are more monotonous than their thoughts and oddly enough, more literary.

 
Wystan Hugh Auden
 

I live in my dreams — that's what you sense. Other people live in dreams, but not in their own. That's the difference.

 
Hermann Hesse
