You tell me,
that dreams will no longer linger;
that it feels like two states - one trying to hold on, but weaker and weaker, and one taking over, slowly, effortlessly;
that the two states struggle - or rather quiver - against each other like flexible, parallel plates that complement and yet exclude each other;
that the desire and urge to keep your eyes closed is reduced;
that a floor panel slowly comes into view.
You say it appears vertical.
