"In the eyes of mourning the land of dreams begins."
Simplified meaning
When someone is grieving or feeling deep sadness, they often start to think about what could have been or imagine different possibilities. For example, if someone loses a loved one, they might think about all the dreams and plans they had together. With the pain of loss, their mind can escape into a world of dreams and 'what-ifs' as a way to cope. This means that mourning can make people reflect deeply and consider different outcomes, even though they know these dreams are not real. These dream-like thoughts provide a temporary escape from their sorrow. By understanding this, people can recognize that imagining different possibilities can be a natural part of the healing process.
