“ A popular tradition warns against recounting dreams on an empty stomach. In this state, though awake, one remains under the sway of the dream. […] He who shuns contact with the day, whether for fear of his fellow men or for the sake of inward composure, is unwilling to eat and disdains his breakfast. He thus avoids a rupture between the nocturnal and the daytime worlds[.]
— from Walter Benjamin, One-Way Street
