About This Quote

The living world is a dream. The nocturnal dream is reality. This quote originally comes from the philosopher Goethe, who wrote it in 1816, but the concept behind it was around much longer than that. Its origins date back to ancient times when mystical philosophers believed that life on Earth was a dream and that all living things existed in the afterlife.
