“I dreamed I was a man. But now the dream is over.”

“I had dreamed of something so different from what reality was now offering up, but that dream had been a blind man's vision. That dream was a miracle. The morning was fading. And I remembered yet again that I was a tourist here.”

“I used to dream, and I used to vow;I wouldn't dream of it now.”

“Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.”

“I was the walrus, but now I am John...and so my friends, you'll just have to carry on. The dream is over.”

“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”
