More From Doris Lessing

I only have two kinds of dreams: the bad and the terrible. bad dreams i can cope with. they're just nightmares, and the end eventually. i wake up. the terrible dreams are the good dreams. in my terrible dreams, everything is fine. i am still with the company. i still look like me. none of the last five years ever happened. sometimes i'm married. once i even had kids. i even knew their names. everything's wonderful and normal and fine. and then i wake up, and i'm still me. and i'm still here. and that is truly terrible.

Israel is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. dreams fulfilled are imperfect. and, israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. one of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. they were bigger than life. these were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the jews, for the world. such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.

What you people who weren't yet born can never know is what it meant to sleep in cities under silent falls of snow when all night long the only sounds you heard were dogs that parked at trains that passed so far away they took a short cut through your dreams and no one even woke. it was the war that changed that. it was. after the great war for civilization - sleep was different everywhere.

There are almost no limits to the discoveries of how the human brain operates in illness and health, in sleep and waking and dreaming, in calm and under tension. the question is how far man can put these discoveries to use without using them not for cure but for power.
