❝ - Did we meet often? ❞
❝ - Twice: once in the rain, and again in the rain. The third time, we didn't meet at all. I went away and forgot you. A while ago I remembered. I remembered I'd forgotten you. I was dreaming ❞

❝ Are you alive? ❞
❝I don't know. I don't want to know. Does it often happen that I am awakened from one dream by another, itself the interpretation of the dream?❞
❝That's what's happening now. Are you alive?❞
❝As long as I'm dreaming, I'm alive; the dead don't dream.❞
from Memory for Forgetfulness by Mahmoud Darwish
