Yes, Marvin, this is dangerous territory. Sometimes reality mixes with our dreams that we get confused. Was the promise real or imagined? Is the person, real or just a whippoorwill? The whip-poor-will (a bird) is commonly heard within its range, but less often seen because of its superior camouflage. It is named onomatopoeically after its song. So, is this man just a sound, or the image of a sound? Tell me if you understand any of this.
