The Language of the Dream/Night is contrary to that of Waking/Day. It is a language of Images and Sensations, the various dialects of which are far less different from each other, than the various Day-Languages of Nations.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeWater, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeHence, viper thoughts, that coil around my mind,Reality's dark dream!I turn from you, and listen to the wind,Which long has raved unnoticed.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
