Key to Exercise IV
Now and again I have had horrible dreams but not enough of them∧make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with it , I like the idea of dreaming, of going to the bed and lying still
and then, by some queer magic, wander into another kind existence. As a child I can never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calm when they could make such a fuss about any of holiday. This still puzzles me. I am mystified by people who might say they never dream and appear to have no interested in the subject.
It is much more astonishing∧if they said they never went out for a wal k. Most people do∧seem to accept dreaming as some part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating little
habit, for sneezing or yawning. I have never understood this. My dream life therefore doesn’t seem as important as my waking life, if∧because there is far less of it, but to me it is important. As if there were at least two more
extra continents added to the world, ∧lightening excursions running to them∧any moment between midnight and breakfast. Then again,∧dream life, though unsatisfactory in many respects, has its own advantages. The dead is there, smiling and talking. The past is there，sometimes all break and confused but occasionally as fresh as a
daisy. And perhaps the future is there too,
winking at us.
