Top Comments of this video!! :3
This was my dogs favourite song, the opening of the song until the drums kicked in would be nothing but him howling along to this track and wagging his tail. I put him to sleep a few days ago after 12 years of pure joy and happiness on this earth, just listening to this track takes me right back to when we were both young and we both didn't have a care in the world. Rip Jack 2010 - 2023.

I like how the video shows the sleeping person's side of the song, instead of the person who is already awake. While you hear the awake person's thoughts in the lyrics, you see what the sleeping person is dreaming in the video. It also supports the narrator's conflict of whether to wake them up or not, in the fascination of the sleeping person's dreams and the general feeling that they don't want to wake up yet.

The percussion at 1:43 onward is absolutely amazing!

I really liked the opening, it inspired me to write the following:
I follow my footprints in the snow
Carefully tracing memories I used to hold
Some made afresh, others seem too old
But oh, already they glint with afterglow.
And your lips as storm they sway:
'You are dreaming once again,
My youthful love, my smile that rains
Why must you fly to unworldly play?'
But I must, I must
Ahead my closing footprint
Already covered by starry dust.

In college, I studied at lot, barely sleeping a few hours each night. It wasn't healthy. Meanwhile my mom was dying of cancer. She had maybe a few months left. Eventually, I dropped out to take care of her. She would ask me how my classes were, and I lied, saying everything was fine; that I had it under control, but I didn't. I went so long without sleep I suffered sleep paralysis, still... I struggled to move, to wake up. This song reminds me of my mother dying, of sleep deprivation, of dreams, promises, and the denial we go through while fighting for the things we know we're going to lose.
