Description

A dream is the brain’s theatrical performance sold during slumber, a hall of illusions that bills you in regret at dawn. It stages grand ideals while ignoring real-world consequences. Everyone gets a starring role, yet anyone may rewrite the script without permission. It’s a psychological catharsis device bundled with a good night’s sleep. Sometimes mistaken for a trailer of the future, it can trigger misunderstandings with costly consequences.
