The way I would describe this text is ‘dark whimsical’. I genuinely had no clue where the plot was going,
 And couldn’t anticipate all the twists and turns. 

It feels that the author had a plethora ideas that he expertly braided together under the theme of ‘dreams’ and ‘Morpheus’. 

Through dreams and revelation, this text touches on what it is to be present, human, and the challenges we face outside the dreaming.
