On Dreams (De Insomniis)

Do not keep silent, O holy wealth original: "ploutias" — likely referring to spiritual abundance or the divine source of wisdom, but [recount] the deeds.
But because the sin of opinion-making original: "dogxasthai" — the act of forming groundless beliefs or relying on appearances rather than true knowledge has touched those
who are not instructed original: "katêkhoumenous" — students undergoing spiritual training, I have not related the previous
points to you. For when the soul is seized beforehand by the phantasms original: "phasmatôn" — spectral images or mental visions produced by the imagination
taught from writing, or those who, because of them, are unworthy of the truth.
Let it not be struck out, even for those for whom it was not written down.
For whenever we find someone similar from the marginal note, [we see] that like [goes] to like;
for comparing like things to like things. And I think someone might seek this out,
which [I] demonstrate to be a law of nature,
ordained for it, not as a brother in the act of knowing;
but if they are to be brothers, one will seek the good; but one should
expect nothing concerning things that are more like a lack of profit, nor
to do anything elegant; nor to do anything elegant; The scribe repeated this phrase by mistake (dittography). nor
to do anything most beautiful; nor to do anything most difficult;
nor to do anything most timely before you; [this is] at once
an appropriation; I think, towards those who have written in this way;
not in a scholarly or artistic manner, but towards the truth; from where
they might relate the imagination original: "phantasian" — the mirror-like faculty of the soul that receives images from both the senses and the divine of the base man,
but let there be no imitation; through which they know what is secure,
or what is out of proportion to opinion and to grace. But you write it
carelessly, I say; but the same thing is true for us as well; we shall
imitate the highest carefree state; but rather a fear of fear,
especially when it appears to us not to be;
towards the others, just as we would not be advised by a man...
