Dreams haunt "undisciplined and unenlightened" imaginations
Metaphor in Context
Such was the dream that haunted my undisciplined and unenlightened imagination. The more I revolved it the more plausible it seemed. on this supposition every appearance that I had witnessed was easily solved--unless it was their treatment of me. This, at first, was a source of hopeless perplexity.
