Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter,
In sleep a king, but waking no such matter.
Sen benimdin: rüyanın görkemleriyle doldum.
Ben, uykuda kraldım, uyanınca hiç oldum.

[sonnets, LXXXVII]
William Shakespeare
Ode to nightingale
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness,—
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees

I had nightmares sometimes, where I’d dream that nothing over the past year had happened, and I was still in that L.A. apartment…all alone.
Walker was always there though, waking me up and reminding me that I’d never be alone again, because he owned me body and soul.
If this was a dream, it was one that I never wanted to wake up from.
I would have gone through a million years of misery as long as I ended up with him.
I thought about fate alot, about how the tides could turn and change…about how one moment, one decision…could change your whole life…
Like what had happened when I’d gone to Maddie’s wedding…and I’d left with…the pucking wrong date.

"I had a lovely dream," Bill said. "I don't remember what it was about, but it was a lovely dream."
"I don't think I dreamt."
"You ought to dream," Bill said. "All our biggest business men have been dreamers. Look at Ford. Look at President Coolidge. Look at Rockefeller.
Look at Jo Davidson."

Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
"Will you kill me in a way that won’t hurt? I mean, do it carefully. If I don’t fight; okay? I promise not to fight. Do you agree?”
She seemed more externally composed now. But still fundamentally frantic and tense. Yet, the dark fire waned; the life force oozed out of her, as he had so often witnessed before with other androids. The classic resignation. Mechanical, intellectual acceptance of that which a genuine organism—with two billion years of the pressure to live and evolve hagriding it—could never have reconciled itself to.
“I can’t stand the way you androids give up,” he said savagely.
