I don’t know what others can see when they closed their eyes. When I close my eyes, I see sparkles, red and blue flashes of lightning tangle with one another. It is a realm where I can only stay briefly every day, between being awake and falling asleep, where I cannot distinguish whether thoughts exist in reality or in a fantastic dimension. The sparkles and lightning are in a state of flux that I always wanted to follow with my eyes, but I invariably fall asleep before I can actually look at them.
