Neil GaimanI walk across the dreaming sands under the pale moon: through the dreams of countries and cities, past dreams of places long gone and times beyond recall.
About This Quote
In The Dreaming Sands, by Arthur Machen, this quote is used as a description of the journey of a ghost. In this sense, it represents a self-referential feature. The speaker is walking in a dream state and cannot distinguish between dreams and reality. He walks across the dreaming sands under a pale moon. The pale moon is a reference to the moon, whose light does not illuminate the landscape as much as it should.
