 7. Blest be...sleep - a cloak to cover all human imaginings, food to satisfy hunger, water to quench thirst, fire to warm cold air, cold to temper heat, and, lastly, a coin to buy whatever we need.

 8. Come, Sleep: O Sleep! the certain knot of peace, The baiting place of wit, the balm of woe, The poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, The indifferent judge between the high and low.

 9. Creation sleeps. 'Tis as the general pulse Of life stood still, and nature made a pause.

10. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

11. Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which, if it were available in waking, would make every man a genius.

12. Dreams - A microscope through which we look at the hidden occurrences in our soul.

13. Dreams are but interludes, which fancy makes; When monarch reason sleeps, this mimic wakes.

14. Dreams are excursions into the limbo of things, a semi-deliverance from the human prison.

15. Dreams are mere productions of the brain, And fools consult interpreters in vain.

16. Dreams are the touchstones of our characters.

17. Dreams are the true Interpreters of our Inclinations; but there is Art required to sort and understand them.

18. Dreams are the wanderings of the spirit though all nine heavens and all nine earths.

19. Even as a great fish swims along the two banks of a river, first along the eastern bank and then the western bank, in the same way the Spirit of man moves along beside his two dwellings: this waking world and the land of sleep and dreams.

20. Fool, what is sleep but the likeness of icy death? The fates shall give us a long period of rest.

21. For morning dreams, as poets tell, are true.

22. He sleeps well who knows not that he sleeps ill.

23. How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a vagabond, and want like an armed man.

24. I dreamed a thousand new paths... I woke and walked my old one.

25. If, my dear, you seek to slumber, Count of stars an endless number; If you still continue wakeful, Count the drops that make a lakeful; Then, if vigilance yet above you Hover, count the times I love you; And if slumber still repel you, Count the times I do not tell you.

26. In dreams the mind beholds its own immensity. What has been seen is seen again, and what has been heard is heard again. What has been felt in different places or far away regions returns to the mind again. Seen and unseen, heard and unheard, felt and not felt, the mind sees all, since the mind is all.

27. It is a delicious moment, certainly, that of being well nestled in bed, and feeling that you shall drop gently to sleep. The good is to come, not past...

30. O, what is sweeter than when the mind, set free from care, lays its burden down; and when spent with distant travel, we come back to our home, and rest our limbs on the wished-for bed? This, this alone, repays such toils as these!

33. One should rest when it is time to rest and act when it is time to act. True resting and putting to rest are attained through the disappearance of the ego, which leads to the harmony of one's behaviour with the laws of the universe. Resting in principle involves doing that which is right in every position in which one is placed.

34. Our dreams are as real, while they last, as the occurrences of the daytime. We see, hear, feel, act, experience pleasure and suffer pain, as vividly and actually in a dream as when awake. The occurrences and transactions of a year are crowded into the limits of a second: and the dream remembered is as real as the past occurrences of life.

35. Our life is two fold: Sleep hath its own world, A boundary between the things misnamed Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world, And a wide realm of wild reality.

36. Sleep - Death without dying - living, but not life.

41. Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.

42. Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.

43. Sleep lay upon the wilderness, it lay across the faces of nations, it lay like silence on the hearts of sleeping men; and low upon lowlands and high upon hills, flowed gently sleep, smooth-sliding sleep - sleep - sleep.

44. Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care, The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast.

45. Sleep, rest of nature, O sleep, most gentle of the divinities, peace of the soul, thou at whose presence care disappears, who soothest hearts wearied with daily employments, and makest them strong again for labour!

46. Sleep, riches, and health, are only truly enjoyed after they have been interrupted.

47. Sleep, the brother of death.

48. Sleep, to the homeless thou art home; the friendless find in thee a friend.

49. So nature deals with us, and takes away Our playthings one by one, and be the hand Leads us to rest so gently, that we go, Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay, Being too full of sleep to understand How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

50. Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.

51. The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.

52. The chambers in the house of dreams Are fed with so divine an air, That Time's hoary wings grow young therein, And they who walk there are most fair.

53. The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report, what my dream was.

54. The eye sees a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake.

55. The half hour between waking and rising has all my life proved propitious to any task which was exercising my invention... It was always when I first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me.

56. The long sleep of death closes our scars, and the short sleep of life our wounds. Sleep is the half of time which heals us.

57. The real man lies in the depths of the subconscious.

58. The sleep of a labouring man is sweet.

59. The sleep of the body is the sober watchfulness of the mind and the shutting of my eyes reveals the true Light.

60. The vigorous are no better than the lazy during one half of life, for all men are alike when asleep.

61. There is a Spirit who is awake in our sleep and creates the wonder of dreams. He is the Spirit of Light, who in truth is called the Immortal. All the worlds rest on that Spirit and beyond him no one can go.

62. There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled.

63. Time, motion and wine cause sleep.

64. To all, to each, a fair good-night, And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.

65. Too much rest itself becomes a pain.

66. Try to enjoy the sleepless sleep wherein all the senses and mind remain in a state of quietude and the intellect ceases functioning. The sleepless sleep is a super-conscious state. It is perfect awareness wherein the individual soul has merged itself into the Supreme Soul. There is no waking from this sleep.

67. Two gates the silent house of Sleep adorn; Of polished ivory this, that of transparent horn: True visions through transparent horn arise; Through polished ivory pass deluding lies.

68. Visit her, gentle Sleep! with wings of healing, And may this storm be but a mountain-birth, May all the stars hang bright above her dwelling, Silent as though they watched the sleeping Earth!

69. We are such stuff As dreams are made of, And our little life Is rounded with a sleep.

70. We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams- World-losers and world-forsakers. On whom the pale moon gleams.

71. We cannot always secure sleep. When important decisions have to be taken, the natural anxiety to come to a right decision will often keep us awake. Nothing, however, is more conducive to healthy sleep than plenty of open air.

72. Weariness can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth finds the down pillow hard.

73. What probing deep Has ever solved the mystery of sleep?

74. When a man is asleep his soul takes the consciousness of the several senses and goes to rest with them on the Supreme Spirit who is in the human heart. When all the senses are quiet the man is said to be asleep. The soul holds the powers of life - breath, voice, eye, ear, and mind - and they rest in quietness.

75. When the soul is in the land of dreams, then all the worlds belong to the soul. A man can be a great king or even a wise man and live in conditions high or low. Even as a great king takes his attendants as he goes about his dominions, so the soul of man takes the powers of life with him as he wanders in the land of dreams.

76. 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.

77. Without a doubt, consciousness originally arises out of the unconscious...It is essential that nothing be taken away from the reality of the unconscious and that the figures of the unconscious should be understood as active qualities.
