And thus, in sleep, just as in the condition of reverie or day-dreaming, there is an abandonment of the fancy to its own wild ways. It follows that the dream-state will not appear to the mind as one of fancy, but as one of actual perception, and of contact with present reality. Dreams are clearly illusory, and, unlike the illusions of waking life, are complete and persistent.
Something cold and wet had been placed against the back of her neck, and little shivers were running over her as she turned and saw her brother Ezra behind her, smiling at her fright. In his arms he held a small white lamb, and it was this little animal's nose that had been pressed to Naomi's neck, and that had brought her day-dreaming to such an abrupt close.
One lay on his back, with one knee raised like a man day-dreaming and looking up at the sky. Another was stretched stiff, with both hands clinched over his chest.
He has his visions and his dreams to feed on. But the workman must see lovely forms as he goes to his work in the morning and returns at eventide. And, in connection with this, I want to assure you that noble and beautiful designs are never the result of idle fancy or purposeless day-dreaming. They come only as the accumulation of habits of long and delightful observation.
Turning a corner she comes suddenly upon Gower, who is still smoking cigarettes, and no doubt day-dreaming about her. "You have escaped from everybody," he says to her, in some surprise, Dulce being a person very little given to solitude or her own society undiluted. "It appears I have not," returns she, bitterly.
She is still idly ruminating on this point when her companion's voice brings her back to the present. She had so far forgotten his existence in her day-dreaming that his words come to her like a whisper from some other world, and occasion her an actual shock. "Your thoughtfulness renders me sad," he is saying impressively. "It carries you to regions where I can not follow you."
One day I looked up from my work with a belated thought. "Imbert hasn't been here for some time. What's the matter?" "He is to stay away until I send him word. I've got to be sure." When there was any time for day-dreaming those days I conjured up pictures of snow banks and fountains and blessed, cooling rain, and long, icy drinks of water. The water had alkali in it and tasted soapy in cooking.
The inquiry took time which he might better have spent in day-dreaming before the prospect of the gray March heaven, with the combs of the roofs and the chimney-pots mezzotinted against it.
Clint halted a moment on the walk and Penny's gaze and thoughts came back from afar and he blinked up at the other. "Hi!" said Penny dreamily. "Hi," returned Clint. "Warm, isn't it?" "Yes, great." "I thought I'd study a little, but I guess I was almost asleep." "Day-dreaming," suggested Clint. There was a moment's silence, during which an odd idea occurred to Clint.
Romance, more than cupidity, is what attracts the gold-brick investor. Of course, Satterlee was a poser, a fraud, a liar; the highest type of liar; the day-dreaming, well-read, genuinely inventive, highly imaginative, loving-it-for-its-own-sake liar. But to Skiddy every word he said was Gospel-true. He never doubted the captain for an instant. Life grew richer to him, stranger and more wonderful.
