For the mornings a dream made perfect sense until you woke, and now it slips away the harder you reach for it.

Blue-green shifting like dream-logic, a quicksilver sheen. It sounds like a page turning in another room and tastes faintly of cool mint.

Reaching for a slipping dream just makes it slip faster; that's how dream-logic works. It holds no dream for you — it offers a quick place to let the dream go without grasping, so the loss of it can be easy.
