At night they come without being fetched, And by day they are lost without being stolen. What is it?

Why this works

This riddle cleverly plays with the dual nature of dreams and stars. At night, dreams come to us naturally as we sleep, hence "without being fetched," while stars appear in the night sky. During the day, however, we often can't see stars, making them "lost," even though they haven't been taken away or stolen. Similarly, dreams fade upon waking, reinforcing the idea of being lost during the day. The riddle invites us to think about the contrast between night and day, and how both dreams and stars are tied to our experiences of these times.
