premise: Ever since Paul died , my dreams have been devoid of him . I ' m pretty sure I ' ve dreamt of everyone else since then , except for him . It really bothers me that my dreams have become so silent in that regard . I interpret dreams as alternate realities - if your mind is what makes things real , I figure there must be a reason why we dream so vividly some nights . Who was Paul to me ?
hypothesis: Paul was silent in front of me .
