About This Quote
The quote “Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep” is commonly attributed to the great philosopher William Shakespeare. The truth of the quote seems to be lost in the translation. For example, in this instance, the word “dream” has been mistranslated as “vision” rather than the more common meaning of “dream.” The word “vision” refers to an experience in which one sees something that isn’t there. In other words, a vision is a hallucination, often one that is unpleasant.
We all have had visions in our lives that have made us want to cry or give up on life because we could not figure out what the heck was going on with us. The quote is saying that when you are having a vision it makes you feel like you are losing your mind. But if it doesn’t do this for you then you know it truly isn’t a vision but rather your own subconscious trying to get your attention so you can start living again.
