Murasaki ShikibuReal things in the darkness seem no realer than dreams.
About This Quote
Real things in the darkness seem no realer than dreams. Real things in the darkness appear to be no different than dreams. Real things in the darkness never seem as real as they seem to be. Real things in the darkness are as real as dreams.
Real things in the darkness are as real as dreams can ever be. Real things in the darkness seem as real as dreams, but they aren’t. Real things in the darkness appear to be no different than dreams and that is what makes them so scary and dangerous.
Real things in the darkness are just like dreams and we should treat them that way because we will never truly know what is going on and all we can do is guess and hope for the best.
