As a novelist, you could say that I am dreaming while I am awake, and every day I can continue with yesterday's dream. Because it is a dream, there are so many contradictions and I have to adjust them to make the story work. But, in principle, the original dream does not change. ↗

Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one must stay awake all day. ↗

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said. ↗
