“It’s so easy to give up—to live in dreams with yourself instead of in stories with a friend. I distrust dreams. It’s just your brain re-stirring information uselessly, fending for itself in another dimension, making movies of its own fears and you wake up horrified or calmed by something that never happened or dissatisfied and you go back down for more which is all you get...

I bet that’s all that dead people do, dream endlessly, and dreams are death in training.”
