Even the worst of things takes time to recognize that
it is so and that it happened in reality. The time lag
before that recognition may be the nightmare.

Daydreams could also be the time lag floating
between reality and fantasy.

The nightmare and daydream are both
one step before reality and about to end.

Reality is the boundary between these two, and
surprisingly, the difference between these may be
slight.

You can see the sky that daydreams from the window
of the room where you are experiencing the
nightmare.

The phrase of whoopsie daisy has the magic of
overcoming a little failure or accident with a
light-hearted acceptance.

Whoopsie daisy turns a nightmare into a daydream.
