- Dream
"Lets suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure, you see, and after several nights you would say, well that was pretty great, but now lets have a surprise, lets have a dream which isn’t under control. Well something is going to happen to me that i don’t know what it’s gonna be. Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now. If you awaken from this illusion and you understand black implies white self implies other, life implies death. You can feel yourself not as a stranger in the world not as something here on vacation not as something that has arrived..what you are basically far far in is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself...."
Давайте предположим, что каждую ночь вам может снится любой сон, который вы хотели видеть, и вы, естественно, как вы начали быть в этом приключении сновидений, выполнили бы все Ваши пожелания.
Вы бы получили всевозможные удовольствия, понимаете, и после нескольких ночей вы говорите: "Ну, это было прекрасно".
Но теперь сюрприз - сон, который не находится под контролем.
Ну что-то должно случиться со мной, я не знаю, что это будет .
Тогда у вас будет больше и больше приключений, и вы будете дальше и дальше от того, что вам снилось, и, наконец, вам бы снилось то, где вы сейчас находитесь.

Let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream. And you would, naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure during your sleep. And after several nights you would say “Well that was pretty great”. But now let’s have a surprise, let’s have a dream which isn’t under control, where something is gonna happen to me that I don’t know what it's gonna be.
Then you would get more and more adventurous and you would make further- and further-out gambles what you would dream. And finally, you would dream where you are now.
If you awaken from this illusion and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death, you can feel yourself – not as a stranger in the world, not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke - but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.
