I HAD THE SENSE THAT I'D BEEN ASLEEP FOR A VERY long time—my body was stiff, like Ihadn't moved once through all that time, either. My mind was dazed and slow; strange, colorfuldreams—dreams and nightmares—swirled dizzily around the inside of my head. They were so vivid. Thehorrible and the heavenly, all mixed together into a bizarre jumble¹. There was sharp impatience² and fear,both part of that frustrating³ dream where your feet can't move fast enough… And there were plenty ofmonsters, red-eyed fiends that were all the more ghastly for their genteel civility. The dream was stillstrong—I could even remember the names. But the strongest, clearest part of the dream was not thehorror. It was the angel that was most clear.

　　It was hard to let him go and wake up. This dream did not want to be shoved away into the vault⁴ ofdreams I refused to revisit. I struggled with it as my mind became more alert, focusing on reality. Icouldn't remember what day of the week it was, but I was sure Jacob or school or work or somethingwas waiting for me. I inhaled⁵ deeply, wondering how to face another day.

　　Something cold touched my forehead with the softest pressure.

　　I squeezed my eyes more tightly shut. I was still dreaming, it seemed, and it felt abnormally real. I was soclose to waking… any second now, and it would be gone.

　　But I realized that it felt too real, too real to be good for me. The stone arms I imagined wrapped around me were far too substantial. If I let this go any further, I'd be sorry for it later. With a resigned sigh, Iwrenched back my eyelids⁶ to dispel⁷ the illusion.

　　"Oh!" I gasped⁸, and threw my fists over my eyes.

　　Well, clearly, I'd gone too far; it must have been a mistake to let my imagination get so out of hand.

　　Okay, so "let" was the wrong word. I'd forced it to get out of hand—pretty much stalked myhallucinations—and now my mind had snapped.
