“I find out a lot about myself by sleeping. Dreams, they are who I am when I’m too tired to be me.”

“It occurs to me to devise mental tests on myself to see if I am who I think I am, but then I think, “I am who I think I am, or I probably am, and a test I conceive and answer about myself isn’t a way to test if I’m another person pretending to be me, because no matter how I answer I’ll answer like myself, thus falsely proving to myself that I am who I think I am.” No, what I need is for my clone to create and administer the test.”

“Dream nonsense: Character: Hey, how are you? Me: I’m tired. I mean, this is a dream, so I must be, right?”

“When I’m tired, I say, “I’m calling it a night.” Well, what else am I going to call it? Nathan?”

“I write down my dreams. I use the excuse “I’m writing” to sleep all the time.”

“I am the man of your dreams. Go back to sleep.”

“I am not who I pretend to be, even when I act like myself.”
