The Stuff of Dreams

Kathmandu, Nepal

We are such stuff as dreams are made on,
and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare

South Africa

We sleep as much as a third of our lives, so it is clear that we are actually doing some important “work” during that time.  From consolidating memory and learning,  to repairing our bodies, sleep isn’t so much a luxury as a necessity.

It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of
sleep has worked on it.

Dreams are more real than reality itself;
they’re closer to the self.

Your future depends on your dreams,
so go to sleep.

A good laugh and a long sleep are the
best cures in the doctor’s book.
– Irish proverb

Tibet

Even a soul submerged in sleep is hard at work
and helps make something of the world.
– Heraclitus

Kashmir
Varanasi, India
Lourdes, France

Now, blessings light on him that first invented this same sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.
– Miguel de Cervantes

Artists have been depicting the special bond between mothers and their children for hundreds of years.

Rybinsk, Russia 

Relationships can be difficult to describe, and sometimes an image tells the story better than words. One of the most powerful and unforgettable photos depicting a mother and her children in the history of photography is Dorothea Lange’s photograph of a destitute mother and her children taken in 1936.

Dorothea Lange said in an interview about the picture, “She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me.”
