Some quote about dream

"What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream? Or what's worse, what if only that fat guy in the third row exists?"
- Woody Allen


"You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed, and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes."

- Morpheus describes the effects of the two pills to Neo in Movie Matrix



“If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.”

-
René Magritte
