"what power would hell have if those there imprisoned were not able to dream of heaven?" - lord morpheus, preludes & nocturnes (sandman vol. 1)
you know what's worse than suffering and torment? it's suffering and torment with a view of paradise. and that's why i certainly agree with morpheus on this one. dreams are double-edged swords. they can lift you up and enable you to soar to great heights. but they can also skewer your heart and bring you down to the greatest depths with the realization of what they truly are - mere illusion.
the twins desire and despair perfectly illustrate my point. and you can alternate from one state to the other without realizing what's happening to you until it's too late.. :(
