You know that place between sleeping and awake, that place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always think of you.
J. M. Barrie Quotes
And so when Mrs. Darling went back to the night-nursery to see if her husband was asleep, all the beds were occupied. The children waited for her cry of joy, but it did not come. She saw them, but she did not believe they were there. You see, she saw them in their beds so often in her dreams that she thought this was just the dream hanging around her still.
