The Unparalleled Dream Vice

Place the  mind here [in the vise/vice]

[Use the] Lever

[of]

nearly-constant self consciousness, doubt, and jealousy

[to apply] Pressure

This vice is excelled by none for heavy nightmare shop work.

For a self-esteem chipping vice it is superior,

the lever being extra heavy,

it cannot be broken with simple comforting thoughts.

The screws are large, with a strong negative thread, and well fitted to the human mind.

The vice is as long as the applications are wide,

thus securing durability.

This arrangement makes dreams become injured or worn.

This is a strong, compact, and solid dream vice,

one that will last many years of daily use.
