A fugitive, having lost something important to him, he escaped from the pain of the real world and into a world of dreams. The dreamworld of his own creation is a place where nothing has ever been lost. Here, he relives the happiest day of his life over and over. But eventually, this illusion of perfection begins to fall apart. As time passes, the face of the person he holds dear and recreated in his dreams becomes blurry and distorted. He ignores the truth by covering it up with a white sheet. One day, his creation escapes and he jumps through other people’s dreams to find it again. And he grows determined to turn his city of dreams into reality.

— JxW, This Man audiobook

"[Dreams] occur on a shared astral plane. Potentially in the fourth dimension. And when I enter your dreams, I encounter the same thing. Almost as if a piece of you lives there permanently.”

Almost as if. Exactly as if.
