I wonder what you would do if you had the power to dream

at night any dream you wanted to dream

and you would of course be able to alter your time sense

and sleep say seventy five years

of subjective time into eight hours of sleep

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 could conceive

love affairs

banquets, dancing girls

wonderful journey, gardens

music beyond belief

and then after a couple of months of this sort of thing at 75 years a night

you would be getting a little of taste for something different

and you would move over to an adventurous dimension

where there were sudden dangers involved and the thrill of

dealing with dangers

and you could rescue princesses from dragons

and go on dangerous journeys

make wonderful explosions and blow them up

eventually get into contest with enemies

and after you've done that

for some time

you'd think up a new wrinkle

to forget that you were dreaming

so that you would think it was all for real

and to be anxious about it

and then, cause it'd be so great when you woke up

and then you'd say well

like children

who dare each other on things

how far out could you get

what could you take

what dimension of being lost

of abandonment of your power what dimension of that could you stand

you could ask yourself this because you know you would eventually wake up

then you would get

more and more adventure

finally you would dream where you are now

you would dream the dream of living the life that you actually living today

that would be within the infinite multiplicity

of choices that you would have so in this idea then

everybody is fundamentally the

ultimate reality not God

in a politically kingly sense but God in the sense of being the self

that deep down basic whatever there is

and you're all that only you're pretending you're not
