Wisława Szymborska reflects on the nature of dreams and the interpretations that arise from them. She suggests that dream analysts, scholars, and writers of dream books may offer insights, but ultimately, any correlations drawn are coincidental. Dreams are chaotic and complex, filled with myriad meanings that often defy certainty or consistent interpretation.

The randomness of dreams makes them deeply personal, as they lack fixed meanings and often reflect our subconscious in unpredictable ways. Szymborska emphasizes the haphazard and scattered nature of dreaming, highlighting how personal and elusive these experiences can be, leaving dream interpretation largely to chance.
