dreams (may) might be so various! Explanation: Literally, they mean that any sleeping person can see so great variety of dreems that, that anything can be net within this variety. The phrase, as far I can see, is related to an exclamation (or quieting) which is appointed to calm a person who previously saw and talked to the answerer about either a very exciting and sweet, or, in contrary, a very dark and awful dream. Russian language - huge and selfish:) |
