the yawning tree grows and swells , seems to rush toward him , grows tentacles and there is a horrible rotten blackness in its center , with red paint around it like the lipstick of some sinister whore , and he can hear dark winds howling in that black , squirming , mouth and 4 he does n't wake up then , as much as it seems he has c everyone knows that even the most outlandish dreams feel real , that they may even have their own spurious logic , but this is not real , can not be .
