In Other Words

Emerson, whose memory failed him in the last years of his life, [had] friends [who] described him not as deteriorating but as living in a protracted state of dreaming. Perhaps here is a better model. … “Dreaming does not necessarily inspire dread; rather, dreaming is considered a part of life, albeit one of its stranger manifestations. Dreamers do not endure social stigma, humiliation or ostracization. To the contrary, dreaming metaphors often invoke tender, even spiritual, qualities.”

—“Better Care for Dementia Patients Begins With New Metaphors.” New York Times, April 22, 2020
