Nightmares Of The Present.

Some of my favorite Sandman convos:

T - Todd

J - Janet

D - Dream

T: It's all getting to be too much for me.  I feel I'm out of my depth.  I'm scared. I'm scared I'm going to do something stupid.

D: And if you do something stupid, what then?

T: ..  Aren't you scared of falling?

D: It is sometimes a mistake to climb; it is always a mistake never even to make the attempt.

T: What are you saying?  That I ought to go back to the show?  Not walkout?  Is that what you're saying?  You're just a dream.  Listen, I've made up my mind.

D: If you do not climb you will not fall.  This is true.  But is it that bad to fail, that hard to fall?  Sometimes you wake, and sometimes, yes, you die.  But there is a third alternative..

J: You seem different today.

T: I met someone who changed my mind about A LOT of things.

J: I'd like to meet her!

T: It's a HE.  And I don't even think he exists.  He's just a little voice in the back of my head, saying.. 

J: Yes?

T: Sometimes you wake up.  Sometimes the fall kills you.  And sometimes when you fall?  You fly.
