The dreamer glimpses things he has never seen before, and they will
Change him forever. In the world of dreams, things happen that are
Not possible in the world he came from. Questions are answered
But the answers are in a language he has never heard before. He
Understands that language, though, in the dream. Everything is
Resolved in the dream, or so it seems, but it all must remain in the
Dream. When he awakens, he will forget that language. It will be
Incomprehensible again. He will only remember that when he dreamed
He understood it. He will forget the music he heard in his dream
Music that made him fly, music that made him escape from his body
Music that made him escape from time itself. But he will remember
When he awakens that there was this music, that there must
Be music like this somewhere, even if it is only in dreams
The dreamer experiences everything passively. He lies asleep
And it moves through him. These experiences may be more
Wondrous than anything else he has ever tasted, but they are
Perpetually out of his grasp. The dreamer has no power. He has
No will. The dreams enter through him, and he is their vessel
