no more than the clearest	Camomile_Tea	12/25/07
An author talks about the power of dream by picking up some examples and says they maybe dismissed as a on-off, then says this: "Yet these few are no more than the clearest dreams in a much larger sample of 400." What I didn't get is the "no more than." I would understand if he said, "yet these few are the clearest dreams." What is he suggesting by adding "no more than" there? Is he saying they're "just" dreams? If so, I don't think it doesn't go with the "yet." Help, please?

I think he means to impress upon the reader that the rest of the 400 were equally intriguing and that the selected sample were simply chosen based on clarity, not because they were somehow more important or more meaningful.
