About This Quote

…only then did I wake out of the book. We all love to read. Some of us don’t just love to read, however, we get lost in it. There are many books that take us to another world.

The same holds true for dreams, visions and other psychic experiences. They can take us away from reality and allow us to escape into another place or time where nothing is quite like it seems. Until, that is, we wake up.
