Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance arms us with terrible freedom so that every will rushes to deed. A skillful man reads his dreams for his self-knowledge yet not the details but the quality. What part does he play in them – a cheerful manly part or a poor drivelling part? However monstrous and grotesque their apparitions they have a substantial truth.
