Imagination in DreamIand.

A man who awake is most prosaic,
whose mind is commonplace, who is
utterly unable to invent a story or
write a drama, will asleep have the
most astonishing flights Of magma

peoples it with players, men, women
and animals, and each one of them
even the animals at times-speaks his
