"I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time."
- Hobbes ( of Calvin and..)
In my reading this morning I ran across some great quotes about dreaming. Among them was the quote from Hobbes, the stuffed (but perceived as real) tiger of the imaginative 6 year old Calvin. Calvin was named after the 16th century reformation theologion, John Calvin, and Hobbes after a 17th century philosopher, Thomas Hobbes. The interaction between the theologion and the philosopher lends itself to some interesting insights into social issues of our day. Calvin sees Hobbes as a live tiger, while other characters see him as a stuffed animal. If you ever had a stuffed animal friend, which most of us did at some point in life, you can appreciate this comic strip.
Dreams.... A great thing to ponder.
