&.&&.&.&.. i fall asleep in the wrong throat and .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& is not so much dreaming as being forced .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. to imagine a scenario... .&.&.&.&.&

&..&.&.&.& .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. big halls, arcades, .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& filled with characters. .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& i get instructions for them, for what i .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. must imagine them doing or saying. they .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& have some agency, but not while i'm .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. looking. the instructions are beamed .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& into my mind, spoken from a god, or .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. false demiurge. .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. sometimes i'm too slow and fail to make .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& them do what i'm instructed before .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. time's out, and then they get punished. .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. one of them got his vocabulary shrunk .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& down to only the word he failed to say .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. (roofs? rufus?), many were just .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& physically maimed. .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& it all was very stressful and .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. repulsive. it felt like a nightmare, or .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& fever dream. .&.&.&.&..
&.&&.&.&.. .&.&.&.&.&
&..&.&.&.& i haven't tried to sleep since .&.&.&.&..
