“The dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it.”
— George Santayana

Simplified Meaning:
When you're dreaming, everything feels real, but you can't truly understand what's happening until you wake up. It's like how a person might believe in an idea or live in a fantasy, thinking it's the truth. However, they need to step back and look at the bigger picture to see things clearly. For example, imagine someone convinced that they have no friends because they always stay inside. If they go out and meet new people, they might realize they were wrong. This teaches us that to understand reality and our own thoughts, we need to experience the world fully and from different viewpoints. So, it's important to sometimes pull ourselves out of our usual way of thinking to really see what's true.
