You a dreamer?’
‘Yeah.’
‘I haven’t seen too many of you around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, that no one does it anymore.
It’s not dead. It’s just that it’s been forgotten. Removed from our language. Nobody teaches it, so no one knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity.

So whatever you do, don’t be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.’
