And then the woman's hair caught fire

I had quite a bizarre dream last night.  Lots of imagery.  And yes, at one point a woman's hair caught fire and I put it out.  Although the fire didn't seem to do any damage and the woman didn't seem to notice.  Makes sense to do some quotes on dreams.  I have to say that finding sleep-dream inspired quotes are slightly hard.  So many "dream" quotes are inspirational about a person's waking dreams.  I was fortunate enough to find two quotes with slightly different outlooks on dreams.

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

“Dreams are nothing but incoherent ideas, occasioned by partial or imperfect sleep.” - Benjamin Rush

What do you think about dreams.  Are they powerful thoughts or something that gets in the way of sleep?
