   It's a white light, in the sense that it is colorless. It's just   
   ... light. It's like I'm looking at a scene with my eyes open in   
   daylight, but I've got my eyes shut and it's night and the room is   
   pitch dark. There never seems to be much of interest in the scene,   
   just some objects that I can't even clearly remember, because they   
   made no impression. I was noticing the light, which just floods   
   everything in the same way actual daylight is everywhere. It's   
   kind of weird.
