1 " What he could bear in the waking world he could not by night and he sat awake for fear the dream would return. "
― Cormac McCarthy , The Road
2 " Do you know the feeling you get when you are awakened in the middle of a dream? The dream story is still real and full of color, but the waking world is rushing back into your mind. And for a moment both worlds are true, and you cannot quite tell them apart. "
