Misunderstanding dreams

HATH, Vol 1, aphorism 1.

In ages of crude, primordial cultures, man thought he could come to know a second real world in dreams: this is the origin of all metaphysics.

Phooey.

Only a Kantian, or a post-Kantian, or a neo-Kantian could utter such drivel.

See also aphorism 9, of like ilk.
