Over the last year I've been hit with more than my usual quota of extremely emotionally vivid dreams, ones that even though consciously I know are dreams affect me like they are memories. So I will share with you a quote I rediscovered Friday while rereading Tolkien's Notion Club Papers:
"And, asleep, the mind, rootling about, as it does, in the days' leavings (or the week's), would inspect them again with far less distraction, and all the force of its original desire." (p. 181).
