The status quo and the subjunctive are devourers and creators of each other, is what I would want to say. When the dream comes true, it is no longer a dream; it has become one more chunk of actuality. Actuality gives rise to the dream, which in turn, as mentioned before, makes war against actuality. Aramisse told me once that she spends quite a lot of time on fantasy; if that happens enough, and we accept the postulate that every man makes his own reality, is her status quo the fantasy or not? Does it lie, in short, in the majority? But what does status quo even mean without "concensus" and "agreement", and those require more than one person or a third-stage schizophrenic.
