The Demon-Haunted World (Paperback, 1997, Ballantine Books) 5 stars

How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand …

Another analogy might be that dreams, like the stars, are shining all the time. Though the stars are not often seen by day, since the sun shines too brightly, if, during the day, there is an eclipse of the sun, or if a viewer chooses to be watchful awhile after sunset or awhile before sunrise, or if he is awakened from time to time on a clear night to look at the sky, then the stars, like dreams, though often forgotten, may always be seen.

The Demon-Haunted World by , (Page 106)

This is covering day dreaming and the theory of our “dream world” within our brain always being activated, just surpassed/overshadowed by your active mind when you’re awake. The author tries to explain this as a partial explanation for hallucinations people experience in which they catch glimpses of this “dream world” in the real world.
