dreams

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, you see

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

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 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
