"I was, but... everyone can't just go off into some strange abstract dimension when they fall asleep, can they? And demons and spirits can't reside in the same space as all of these dreamers. It doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't that mean that everyone has access to these so-called powers, and wouldn't the demons be able to hurt us while we sleep?"
