Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. 
But this wide-awake thinking has led us into the mazes of a 
nightmare in which the torture chambers are endlessly 
repeated in the mirrors of reason.  When we emerge, perhaps 
we will realise we have been dreaming with our eyes open, 
and that the dreams of reason are intolerable.  And then, 
perhaps, we will begin to dream once more with our eyes closed.

			-- Octavio Paz, _The Labyrinth of Solitude_
