In the novel Night Circus there is a quote from Oscar Wilde who says "A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world". The person in the Night Circus that is said to be the dreamer is most likely Prospero the Enchanter because he dreams about his daughter being a great magician like he is. He wishes she will follow in his footsteps. Prospero tries to make sure she is the best magician and is confident she is already one of the best at such a young age.
In the Night Circus there is also a punishment for the dreamer. In this story I believe that Prospero is the dreamer and that his punishment is that his daughter is falling in love with her competition which makes it harder for her to be the best magician. This is the only punishment I know of so far in the book.
