In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.

The line juxtaposes two realms—dreaming and loving—where ordinary constraints (logic, probability, social limits) loosen. In dreams, the mind freely recombines experience into impossible scenes; in love, desire and devotion can make people attempt what they would otherwise deem unrealistic or forbidden. Read as a romantic maxim, it celebrates imagination and emotional intensity as forces that suspend the “rules” of the waking world. Read more cautiously, it can also imply that both states are prone to illusion: what seems possible in love or dreams may not survive daylight. Either way, the aphorism highlights how human aspiration often begins in inner life rather than in practical calculation.
