How is one to determine if these reality that we are perceiving is real of fake? In dreams it is eerily common to find one's self fooled by the sensations found within said dream. So how are we to trust our sense in this "waking" world? Is our reality just a construct dreamt by our true selves in their slumberous rest, a fragile reflection in a mirror which blocks our view of truth?
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I hope to one day wake from this dreadful nightmare, and to see Marisa's peaceful slumbering face lying beside me in bed.
