What Do You Dream?

Heinrich Vogeler Sehnsucht (Träumerei) c1900

Martin Luther King famously had one. Fantine used to have one (in times gone by). W.B. Yeats claimed to have nothing but his.

What are your dreams? Not the dreams which fill your sleeping mind, but those to which your waking mind steals away whenever it can. What do you dream?

Quotes and Reviews

The ancient Egyptians, incidentally, treated arthritis with electric catfish—or, as the hieroglyphics call them, "angry catfish". Remarkably, electric catfish can be trained to stun on cue, which seems like something coastguards and river police should be looking into before a supervillain does.
