A Dream within a Dream - Alan Parsons Project

“Tales of Mystery and Imagination Edgar Allan Poe“ (Narration Orson Welles) For my own part, I have never had a thought Which I could not set down in words With even more distinctness that which I conceived it. There is however a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy Which are not thoughts and to which as yet I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, Alas how rarely, only at epochs Of most intense tranquillity When the bodily and mental health are in perfection. And those mere points of time When the confines of the waking world Blend with the world of dreams. And so I captured this fancy Where all that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.
