Explore "The Valley of Vision" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This is the story of a dream that came to me some five-and-twenty / years ago. It is as vivid in memory as anything that I have ever / seen in the outward world, as distinct as any experience through / which I have ever passed. Not all dreams are thus remembered. But / some are. In the records of the mind, where the inner chronicle of / life is written, they are intensely clear and veridical. I shall / try to tell the story of this dream with an absolute faithfulness, / adding nothing and leaving nothing out, but writing the narrative / just as if the thing were real.
Perhaps it was. Who can say?
