 "And the time was come when the captain and I must part, he to go back again to his fair Belzoond in sight of the distant peaks of the Hian Min, and I to find my way by strange means back to those hazy fields that all poets know, wherein stand small mysterious cottages through whose windows, looking westwards, you may see the fields of men, and looking eastwards see glittering elfin mountains, tipped with snow, going range on range into the region of Myth, and beyond it into the kingdom of Fantasy, which pertain to the Lands of Dream. Long we should meet no more, for my fancy is weakening as the years slip by, and I go ever more seldom into the Lands of Dream."

 Note that the green-painted door is not the only door into the [[Dreamlands]] - there are many other doors and gates around the world, though few are as safe to travel through as this one.  Nor doors through the thin spots between Dream and Day the only way into Dream - there are many other ways, though few other ways permit a dreamer to walk physically into the land of Dream.
