Weird, but you can tell how much these dreams and ideas absolutely haunt her whether she's awake or asleep in such an overwhelming way, it totally consumes this woman's thoughts and perceptions. The talk she has with her colleague is extremely relatable, as the protagnist is clearly going through a deep crisis of depression and anxiety, and the person she talks to gives well meaning, but quite honestly, shallow, empty, words of advice based on her own life without even trying to acknowledge the protagonist's worries or point of view. I can't wait to see more.
