Wow, " Puck mused, standing beside me. "The River of Dreams." .. Moons, comets and constellations rippled on the surface, and other, stranger things floated upon the misty black waters. Petals and book pages, butterfly wings and silver medals. The hilt of a sword stuck out of the water at an odd angle, the silver blade tangled with ribbons and spiderwebs. A coffin bobbed to the surface, covered in dead lilies, before sinking into the depths once more. The debris of human imaginations, floating through the dark waters of dream and nightmare. .

About This Quote

The River of Dreams is a metaphor for the subconscious where dreams are created. This river is also known as the dreamscape, where dreams are formed. The River of Dreams is a place where the mind is free to explore its own creation. The people in this river are often people who have died or are very close to death.

However, the River of Dreams is also known to be a place where people that have had near-death experiences go to in order to relive their last moments. This small section of the River of Dreams contains all sorts of things, including books, flowers, ribbons, swords, and even coffins.
