Interesting concept, seems to incorporate both original thought and ancestral memory. Extensive movement detail hampers pacing somewhat, and inserted explanations take us outside of the story's flow. I think The Sleeping Man's strength lies in its synesthetic descriptions; those moments of counter-intuitive imagery heighten our awareness. I would come back for more of those.Best of luck, Stephen!
