“Sometimes dreams scare the crap out of us, waking us up from a deep slumber. Sometimes our craziest fantasies come true in dreams.”In our dreams, we may fly high in the sky or sink in the water. Sometimes we are happy to be in the dream with the people we care about.

“And sometimes we see the death of our loved ones and we are just crying.”
