In sleep we are living corpses, we are the prey of an unknown power which seizes us in spite of ourselves, and shows itself in the oddest shapes.[Cadavres vivants, nous sommes la proie d’une [un] puissance inconnue qui s’empare de nous malgré nous, et se manifeste par les effets les plus bizarres.]
