The way the Nightmare Box works is the front is angled out on one side. It forces you to put your left eye against the peephole. It has a little glass fish-eye lens, set in a brass fitting, the same kind you'd find in anyone's front door. The way the front of the box is angled the only way you can look is with your left eye. This way, what you see you have to perceive with your right brain. Whatever you see inside, it's the inuitive, emotional, instinctual side of you, the right brain part that has to witness it. Plus, only one person can look each time. What you suffer, you suffer it alone. What happens inside the Nightmare Box, it only happens to you. The fish-eye lens warps what you see, it distorts it. The name engraved on the brass plate; the Nightmare Box- it tells you that you'll be scared. The name creates an expectation that you fulfill. It's something that goes beyond life after death. What's in the box is proof that what we call life isn't. Our world is a dream, infinitely fake, a nightmare. One look and your life, your preening and struggle and worry; it's all pointless. All your problems and love affairs, they're an illusion. What you see inside the box is a glimpse of the real reality.
