"There is a certain kind of dream I have. It always starts like every other dream. Typical stuff: forgotten school work, walking through exaggerated settings, talking with exaggerated versions of the people I know... But at some point, I do something - it's never clear what - that just ruins everything. I make some mistake that completely alters my life. The feeling is horrible. It's like having every inch of you pulled inward by a gentle breath that never yields. The world seems to speed past me in a blur, though each moment contains years of torture. That weight on me feels so surreal and foreign that I actually realize I'm dreaming. I begin to call out to myself, 'Please wake up! Please!' When I do, I'm so thankful to have the terrible pressure relieved. It makes me realize how bad things could get."

"They could get pretty bad."

"I'm so sorry."
