Ooh, now this one's a good one.

The best way I could explain this is by reusing a comment I made on the Sburb Glitch FAQ (chapter 73) in which I mention Homer's work, the Odyssey.

'''Odysseus' second stop took him to northern Africa where they ate lotuses created by Hades and Persephone. In the mythological setup, Hades explicitly says that sleep is itself just a little piece of death.'''

Not to mention that all the Dreamers appear to be long since dead - in other words, they are dead but dreaming; the Dreaming Dead.
