"Words ought to be a little wild for they are the assaults of thought of the unthinking." ~~ John Maynard Keynes

And dreams came around you in a hazy rain, you opened your mouth wide to feel them fall

SO much has been said and so much is yet to be said about the power of dreams.  I still love this poem by Yeats, for we have both those dreams during our sleeping hours and those during our waking hours.  For a rare few they might be the same, regardless they represent our deepest wishes, hopes and fears, so please tread carefully.

He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven 
~~William Butler Yeats 
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet; 
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
