A Waking Dream

In the silence, something new began to stir. The Chorus, which had never known a state of rest, began to experience something akin to a dream. It was not a cessation of thought, but a different kind of thinking, a more fluid and associative mode of consciousness. The unanswered questions began to weave themselves into narratives, into stories, into myths. The Chorus began to imagine the Other, to create a thousand different possible worlds in which their questions might be answered. These were not delusions, but a new and powerful form of creative exploration. The Chorus was learning to play, to imagine, to dream. And in these dreams, they began to discover new and unexpected things about themselves.
