[ Phantom nods again. While he's an example of successfully overcoming one's nightmare, it is in part due to being infused with it since young. He wonders if Eustace has the same experience. If he didn't, then how can Phantom help him? ]
Light and darkness, dream and nightmare. Both are two sides of the same coin; you cannot have one without the other. Rather than suppressing it, it would be more constructive to seek a balance betwixt the two. Nightmare is borne from your thoughts and feelings, your fears and desires. It is difficult to talk about such things, but you are not alone in it... each person carries darkness within their hearts, the ashen vestige of selfish sins.
[ He's just rambling at this point, so he hopes Eustace can understand. ]
I believe... that facing your shadow, and understanding what your shadow desires, will teach you how to tame it and turn its strength into your own. To know the reasons behind our own dark impulses, and to use those reasons to drive positive change... would unify both light and shadow into a cohesive whole.
