His fancy lost in pleasant dreams. - Joseph Addison I believe that everyone, some time or other, dreams that he is reading papers, books, or letters; in which case the invention prompts so readily that the mind is imposed upon, and mistakes its own suggestions for the composition of another. - Joseph Addison Our dreams drench us in sense, and sense steeps us again in dreams. - Amos Bronson Alcott When to soft Sleep we give ourselves away, And in a dream as in a fairy bark Drift on and on through the enchanted dark To purple daybreak--little thought we pay To that sweet bitter world we know by day. - Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Sonnet--Sleep Dreams are excursions into the limbo of things, a semi-deliverance from the human prison. - Henri-Frederic Amiel Dreams are rudiments Of the great state to come. We dream what is About to happen. - Philip James Bailey But dreams full oft are found of real events The form and shadows. - Joanna Baillie The visions of a busy brain. - Joanna Baillie Sweet sleep be with us, one and all! And if upon its stillness fall The visions of a busy brain, We'll have our pleasure o'er again, To warm the heart, to charm the sight, Gay dreams to all! good night, good night. - Joanna Baillie, The Phantom--Song If there were dreams to sell, What would you buy? Some cost a passing bell; Some a light sigh, That shakes from Life's fresh crown Only a rose-leaf down. If there were dreams to sell, Merry and sad to tell, And the crier rung the bell, What would you buy? - Thomas Lovell Beddoes, Dream-Pedlary People who insist on telling their dreams are among the terrors of the breakfast table. - Max Beerbohm Dreaming men are haunted men. - Stephen Vincent Benet Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans. - Candice Bergen And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. - Bible, Joel (ch. II, v. 28-29) As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. - Bible, Psalms (ch. LXXIII, v. 20) Sleep brings dreams; and dreams are often most vivid and fantastical before we have yet been wholly lost in slumber. - Robert Montgomery Bird As dreams are the fancies of those that sleep, so fancies are but the dreams of those awake. - Sir Thomas Pope Blount "Come to me, darling; I'm lonely without thee; Daytime and nighttime I'm dreaming about thee." - Joseph Brenan (Brennan), The Exile To His Wife I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me even after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. - Emily Jane Bronte (used pseudonym Ellis Bell) You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. - Les Brown We ere somewhat more than ourselves in our sleep; and the slumber of the body seems to be but the waking of the soul. It is the ligation of sense, but the liberty of reason; and our waking conceptions do not match the fancies of our sleeps. - Sir Thomas Browne Oft morning dreams presage approaching fate, For morning dreams, as poets tell, are true. - Michael Bruce, Elegy on Spring I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls, With vassals and serfs at my side, And of all who assembled within those walls, That I was the hope and the pride. - Alfred Bunn, Bohemian Girl (Arline at act II, sc. 2, a song) When you have a dream you've got to grab it and never let go. - Carol Burnett Dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy, They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being. - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron) Displaying page 1 of 7 for this topic: Next >> [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7
