Dreamline
Is It real? Am I dreaming? Which one is real? Which is the dream? …once your conscious takes over, that’s an easy question to answer. Reality comes into focus and the dream becomes a bit fogged – but its still there. There’s the daily slap. Perhaps just a tad bit less sting. I haven’t heard [&hellip
Time Stand Still
