###§†;~^.. four quantifiers:: grip, deepness, ..^~;†§###
####§†;~^. otherworldiness and revitalization. .^~;†§####
###§†;~^.. ..^~;†§###
##§†;~^... grip goes from not being able to let go ...^~;†§##
#§†;~^.... all day (left) to not caring to ....^~;†§#
§†;~^..... remember (right). .....^~;†§

;~^....... deepness goes from being several .......^~;
~^........ hundred meters down (left) to barely ........^~
^......... touching the surface (right). .........^
.......... ..........
.......... otherworldliness goes from a single ..........
.......... coherent dreamscape (left), via normal ..........
.......... dream amounts (middle) to no dreams ..........
.......... (right). ..........
^......... .........^
~^........ revitalization goes from a feeling of ........^~
;~^....... not having slept at all (left) to being .......^~;
