— Did you ever read about the Balinese way of dreaming? They got this whole system they call dream skills. So if you have a nightmare, for instance, like falling. Right. Well, instead of screaming and getting all nuts... you say, «I'm going to make up my mind... that I fall into a magic world». Make it something special like a poem or a song. They get all their art and literature from dreams. Just wake up and write it down.

— But what happens if they don't do that?
— Then I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens.
