“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
– Anaïs Nin
The quote that is normally attributed to the writer ANAÏS NIN, but it is also a Talmudic idea about dream analysis: People can only dream about things they have encountered or thought about, and so their dreams consist not of reality — whatever that is — but is instead a version filtered through the lens of the dreamer’s experiences.
I’ve always loved this quote (I have it framed in a talented friend’s calligraphy!) and appreciate this bonus context… thanks Tina.
