The first night I had a dream. I dreamed I was pure sight, without a body or a name. I was suspended high above a valley at some undefined point from which I could see everything. I could move around my field of vision yet remain in the same place. It seems as if the world below was yielding to me as I look at it, constantly moving towards me, and then away, so first I could see everything, then only tiny details
(The Dream from House of Day, House of Night, 1998/2002)
