The Dream List
Someone told me in third grade that life is only a dream. It's a really interesting theory, but the real question is what happens when we wake up. But anyway, this is a list of places where the theory is mentioned, a lot of them are things that I really really like and that you should really really like too. Conform, dammit! Just kidding, anticonform! No, not that either. Okay, nevermind, pretend I didn't say any of that.
"A child's rhyme stuck in my head.
It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find I've known this all along."
-Tool
"Third Eye"
"Ever drifting down the stream
Lingering in the golden gleam
Life, what is it but a dream?"
-Lewis Carroll
Through the Looking Glass
"All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream"
Edgar Allan Poe
"A Dream Within a Dream"
"You but slumber'd here,
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding than a dream"
-William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night's Dream
And the ultimate quote of this nature of all kind is actually a movie: The Matrix.
