from On Dreams
However dreames may be fallacious concerning outward events, yet may they bee truly significant at home, and whereby wee may more sensibly understand our selves. Men act in sleepe with some conformity unto their awaked senses, and consolations or discouragements may bee drawne from dreames, which intimately tell us our selves. Luther was not like to feare a spiritt in the night when such an apparition would not terrifie him in the daye. Alexander would hardly have runne away in the sharpest combates of sleepe, nor Demosthenes have stood stoutly to it, who was scarce able to do it in his prepared senses. Persons of radicall integritie will not easily be persuaded in their dreames, nor noble minds do pitifully things in sleepe. Crassus would have hardly been bountifull in dreame, whose fist was so close awake, butt a man might have lived all his life upon the sleeping hand of Antonius.
– Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682)
