About This Quote
"She fell into a long sleep, and dreamed she dreams of the dream tree.” is a common phrase that was used by Nantucket whalers to describe death. They believed that when someone passed away, it would be the last time that person would see the “dream tree.” This belief was based on stories told by Native American tribes who observed their members dying in sleep after having seen the dream tree in their dreams.
