"Dream lord, he creates dreams."
"Dreams, delusions, cheap tricks."

Busy week this week - gotta get my Masters application in and I move up to Kildare on Monday for my internship, so enjoy another video today before I stop procrastinating!
When considering which god to choose, Morpheus jumped out at me immediately. He creates dreams for people, ensnaring them in false images, pretending to be other people.
This was me pushing past my normal style into new grounds. I played with text and pixellation, and glitching and distorting effects. I also used the audio of a poem, which I've always wanted to do, but have never gotten around to doing.
I've always wanted to make a video about this topic as I'm obsessed with the use of dreams in film/tv and adore the concept of the dream within a dream, but always shied away from it, so at last, I made an attempt.

Poem: A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allen Poe.
"So here's your challenge. Two worlds. One of them is real, the other's fake. And just to make it more interesting, you have to face, in both worlds, a deadly danger. But only one of the dangers is real."
"Dream lord. He creates dreams."
"Dream, delusions, cheap tricks."
"What if we're not really here? We're there, and this, all of this is just a construct, it's a prison. Our dreams are actually our reality, and this--"
"Is all a dream."
"You've got a world to choose."
"Trust nothing. From now on, trust nothing you see, hear or feel."
"Hurts doesn't it? This is my reality, what happens here, hurts here. You can't leave, you can't hide..."
"Does it look real to you?"
"Does what look real?"
"Where you are right now, does it seem real?"
"It is real."
"I'm here, I'm real."
"Mulder, this is not reality."
"If this a dream, how can be you be here? How can we both be having the same dream?"
"You dreamed it for yourself because the truth was too terrible."
"Whenever we try to get out, something here tries to make us stay."
"Where are you going?"
"I think, in order to escape, we have to completely reject this life."
"You're not real, they pulled you out of my mind."
"Just try. Accept this isn't real."
"Did you really think that you could convince me that this delusion was my life? That I would just accept it?"
"Try!"
"Wake yourself up!"
