Synopsis
[edit | edit source]A man tossing and turning in his sleep has a nightmare. He is visited by various visions which transform into each other, including a girl clad only in a sheet, a minstrel wearing blackface, Pierrot, and the Man in the Moon, who gnaws on his arm. He wakes up tangled in his sheets. He is relieved that it was all just a dream.
