"I'll revive you then kill you again I'll revive you then kill you again I'll revive you then kill you again I'll revive you then kill you again I'll revive you then kill you again I'll revive you then kill you again I'll revive you then kill you again I'll revive you then kill you again"

Is what played in Tommy's head over and over again. Never to stop.

Then,

There was silence.

He didn't speak, only knowing that anything he said would fall to deaths ear; but he did open his eyes. He was in the forest. He didn't know where he was but did not care at the same time, all knowing that it would all end in dream killing him then reviving him all over again.

So he sat and waited,

And he waited until nothing happened.

He didn't know how long he waited, being in limbo and the real world messes with your sence of time. So he made a choice, it was either stay and wait for dream to find him for who knows how long, or move.
It didn't matter if he stayed or moved he thought. Because in the end cycle would still go on. So if it didn't matter then what would it matter to dream if he got up. So with shaky legs from not moving.... He stood up.
