"How we envy you, envy you! Lucky humans, who can close your minds to the endless deeps of space! You have this thing you call… boredom? That is the rarest talent in the universe! We heard a song — it went ‘Twinkle twinkle little star…’ What power! What wondrous power! You can take a billion trillion tons of flaming matter, a furnace of unimaginable strength, and turn it into a little song for children! You build little worlds, little stories, little shells around your minds, and that keeps infinity at bay and allows you to wake up in the morning without screaming!”

You guys are waking up in the morning without screaming? Or just not about the stars thing?
This is from a fantasy world. The not screaming is one of the ways you can tell.
You guys are getting to sleep, and not just screaming all through the night?
The cobras are not real and cannot hurt you. Well maybe cobra commander but he just goes for the feelings.
I wake up to the screaming of tiny flying dinosaurs
I like to imagine the big ones used to scream all the time too.
Oh man. This is where my mind goes whenever I’m getting stoned with my chickens.
