TRUST

Dreams of faith and trust. And, of course, of mistrust--all the way up to clinical paranoia...

I've given up trying to figure out rules for what figures you can trust in dreams. The only rule is, there are none. You have to judge case by case. Besides, people change.

Oh, you don't think the figures you meet in dreams are people? Then they'd be pretty stupid to trust you...
