"I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer
    lends so much more credence and attaches so much more
    importance to waking events than to those occurring in 
    dreams. It is because man, when he ceases to sleep, is
    above all the plaything of his memory..."

   "Can't the dream also be used in solving the fundamental
    questions of life?"

   "I believe in the future resolution of these two states,
    dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, 
    into a kind of absolute reality, a _surreality_; if one
    may so speak. It is in quest of this surreality that I am
    going, certain not to find it but too unmindful of my 
    death not to calculate to some slight degree the joys of
    its possession."

    - Andre Breton, "Manifesto of Surrealism" (1924)
