Dream Machine

Do you sleep to live? Do you live to sleep? Do you even sleep?

I love sleep. It is the only way to lose track of time. It slips me past
the void. It drops me into a dream. It is my dream machine.

But sometimes, you will betray sleep and sleep will betray you. It
takes away your dreams and gives you darkness. It is a living
nightmare. It eats you alive as you are awake. And until sleep is
satisfied, you are dead. You don't get to live. You don't get to sleep.

You can dream a lot of things, but don't trust the dreams of a man
who doesn't sleep. He can make the day turn into the night. It
takes a dreamer to see light in the darkness.

C'est Tout
