As Shakespeare’s Prospero famously says in The Tempest, “We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”
Who am I to disagree with Shakespeare?

Definitely keep dreaming!
Oh! This is great! You enrich my Sundays
Sweet dreams!!!
I’m jealous! I fall asleep easily but if I wake up early ain’t no more dreaming for me (maybe I should wear a hat????)
This definitely resonates for me…
Naps are a favorite pastime of mine; and the dreams are an added bonus.
