全ては過ぎ行く時の夢 I am sort of confused on how to translate this. "It's a dream that shows everything passes in time?"

and I have a question on this one as well
愛し過ぎるのは もうやめたのさ: "I stopped what I loved too much?" Why do we add のさ at the end of sentences?

過ぎ行く modifies 時.


I stopped loving (the thing/person) too much.

Do you know when sentence final particles の and さ are used?

"[A] dream of when everything will pass/has passed/etc." Notice that there is no verb at the end, it's left off, so we have to make assumptions. 時 here means 'when' and the whole sentence's present or past tense relies on the verb at the end, that you are missing. Without the context, it's hard to say.

" have already stopped loving too much / overly loving." のさ is short for のことさ. のこと basically just states a reason, and it's usually not translated into English. さ is the same as よ, but more masculine.

全て is NOT the subject of 過ぎ行く. は can't indicate the subject in a modifying clause. The core is 全ては夢, and it can be considered as a sentence the copula is omitted from.

Everything is a dream in the passing time.


のさ and のことさ are differnt. This の is from the explanatry の.
