Designers are clever, especially when it comes to transforming something simple and relaxing into the stuff of nightmares. It doesn’t take much, and our imaginations have a tendency to run away from reality, especially when you desire that.
And, when you’re that age, you can still let your mind go free to battle with the demons and wizards. But eventually, you let all of that go. But it doesn’t make it any less real.
Especially when you can go and face your nightmare, up close and personal. Which is what you can do here. You know the place. Behind the wall of sleep. There resides the Wizard . . of Oz.
