We're still in the land of hypotheticals here.
Our speaker's going into detail, forcing "you" (or, well, us) to imagine just how horrible his dreams can be.
The body of the dream-soldier writhes in surreal agony.
It's almost over-the-top, unless, of course, you've read descriptions of the pain and suffering of gas victims.
Notice all the "s" sounds stacking up in the last line? (For starters, there's "face" and "devil's" and "sick" and "sin.")
When you read line 20 aloud, it's almost as if you're hissing your way through the line.
The fancy technical term for repeating "s" sounds is sibilance…it's what snakes do.
(And devils, if you take John Milton's word for it. Describing a devil by using an aural technique that forces the reader to hiss? That's pretty darn cool.)
