The gap between awake and asleep

“There is no continuity in life,

we live the day only to fall asleep into unconsciousness.”

So thought the ‘awake’ man.

“There is no continuity in life,

we dream of adventures, fly to new lands, symbolize and travel,

only to have it all forgotten when day time comes.”

So thought the ‘dreaming’ man.
