At night, the imagination settles like an incubus on the subconscious and projects crude absurdities and grotesque phantasms onto the screen of the mind.
Tricked into believing that this inane show is reality, reason adds its spinning commentary and evokes a physical and emotional response so that the sleeper soon awakens in a cold sweat from the suffocating nightmare.
It may be that our haunted sleep continues after we awaken--that the nightmare transitions to a daydream. While we are awake, the senses enforce a "reality first" policy and therefore reign in the imagination from its nocturnal wandering.
We may be sleepwalking never fully aware of the reality of the present moment.
