"I can be in a dream and know that I'm dreaming," Deheza explained in an interview on National Public Radio (NPR), "so I'll know that I can pretty much make anything happen. I'll know that everything that's there is out of my head, so I can make somebody appear, or if I want to go somewhere else, I can do that, too. It's pretty much having control of what you see."

Benjamin Curtis passed away on December 29, 2013 aged 35. The musician had been battling T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, a form of cancer, since the beginning of the year.
