Dream girl, please do not wake me so I may continue to dream...

I just can't wake from these scary dreams.

I know you can dream your way through an otherwise fine life, and never wake up, which is what I almost did.

If you don't have massive dreams, you might as well stay in bed.

You got some big dreams, baby, but in order to dream you gotta still be asleep.

The best for me, perhaps, would be if I could lie down one evening and not wake up again.

There are bad dreams for those who sleep unwisely.

Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality

People who are most afraid of their dreams convince themselves they don't dream at all.

Dreams.-This is a subject of much interest to those suffering from nocturnal pollutions, for these occurrences are almost always connected with dreams of a lascivious nature. In perfectly natural sleep, there are no dreams ; consciousness is entirely suspended. In the ordinary stage of dreaming, there is a peculiar sort of consciousness, many of the faculties of the mind being more or less active while the power of volition is wholly dormant. Carpenter describes another stage of consciousness between that of ordinary dreaming and wakefulness, a condition “in which the dreamer has a consciousness that he is dreaming, being aware of the unreliability of the images which present themselves before his mind. He may even make voluntary and successful efforts to prolong them if agreeable, or to dissipate them if unpleasing ; thus evincing a certain degree of that directing power, the entire want of which is characteristic of the true state of dreams.”

Dreams are associated with a state called REM sleep, the abbreviation standing for rapid eye movement. The REM state is strongly correlated with sexual arousal. Experiments have been performed in which sleeping subjects are awakened whenever REM state emerges, while members of a control group are awakened just as often each night but not when they're dreaming. After some days, the control group is a little groggy, but the experimental group - the ones who are prevented from dreaming - is hallucinating in daytime. It's not that a few people with a particular abnormality can be made to hallucinate in this way; anyone is capable of hallucinations.

I remember that I'm invisible and walk softly so as not awake the sleeping ones. Sometimes it is best not to awaken them; there are few things in the world as dangerous as sleepwalkers.

What he could bear in the waking world he could not by night and he sat awake for fear the dream would return.

Dreams are not those that we see in our sleep; they should be the ones that never let us sleep.
