Background
A description of the experience
Lord Byron – from The Dream
Is not the past all shadow? What are they?
Creations of the mind? - The mind can make
Substance, and people, planets of its own
With beings brighter than have been, and give
A breath to forms which can outlive all flesh
I would recall a vision which I dream'd
Perchance in sleep – for in itself a thought
A slumbering thought, is capable of years
And curdles a long life into one hour
