It is dark. Black, in fact. No color, no sound, no light, nothing at all interesting to be found on the screen.
And then a breath.
And an equation, two, many, many equations scrolling by quickly, chemical structures joining them.
2CH3COCOO- + 2NAD+ + 2H2O

2CH3COO- + 2NADH + 2H+ + 2CO2
2 acetyl CoA + 6NAD+ + 2FAD + 2ADP + 2H3PO4

4CO2 + 6 NADH + 6H+ + 2FADH2 + 2ATP
Blackness again.
And a breath. And it repeats.

[After a few cycles, his breath catches and, quite aptly, the dream ends as he wakes up. And blinks.]
Goodness. I don't suppose that is due to that rather peculiar time as well...?
