Description
Alone in her bedroom, a woman wakes up from a nightmare—or perhaps not? Her behavior indicates that the nightmare is still with her. No matter how bad things might be, they are not as dreadful as the scene playing out in her mind. She has surrendered to the darkness of her own thoughts and fears. In such a mental state, it is impossible to distinguish reality from fear. Regrets, failed love, misfortunes, and mistakes—all of these torment her like sharp swords. It's a dark night of the soul, where it seems that all is lost. A mind overcome by hopelessness cannot imagine the arrival of dawn, but it always comes.
Key Ideas
Sharp mental anguish, raging thoughts, nightmare, ghosts, and painful memories.
