Quotes

“What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed?
And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven
and there plucked an strange and beautiful flower?
And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand?
Ah, what then?”
–Samuel Taylor Coleridge

What do you think?  Do you think that dreams can come true?  Or that an alternate version of reality exists?  I think that this quote can take on two different meanings, depending on the interpretation.  Would you agree or disagree?

In another context, what would you do if this happened to you?  Would you try to destroy the flower?  Or would you preserve it?
