Dream Quote by Mark Frost
““He experienced while sleeping the unsettling sensation of full waking consciousness, completely aware that he was moving through a dream. Although unable to control the dream’s flow of events, he had learned to shift the focus of his attention and see more of what was happening around him. The explicit content of the dream itself was not on the face of it so frightening, but there crept in around its borders an aura of menace and a potency of light and sound and color so overhelming that each night had woken out of it in a pool of sweat, heart thundering, eyes raw and stinging from involuntary tears””
