To adde unto the delusions of dreames, the phantasticall objects seeme greater than they are and being beheld in the vaporous state of sleepe, enlarge their diameters unto us, whereby it may prove more easie to dreame of Gyants than pygmies; Democritus might seldome dreame of Atomes who so often thought of them; Helmont might dreame himself a bubble extending unto the eighth sphere. A little water makes a sea, a small puff of wind a Tempest, a graine of sulphur kindled in the blood may make a flame like Aetna, and a small spark in the bowells of Olympias a lightning over all the chamber. But beside these innocent delusions there is a sinfull state of dreames; death alone not sleepe is able to putt an end unto sinne and there may bee a night booke of our Iniquities, for beside the transgressions of the day, casuists will tell us of mortall sinnes in dreames arising from evil precogitations; meanewhile human lawe regards not noctambulo's, and if a night walker should breake his neck or kill a man, takes no notice of it.
– Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682)
