I wonder
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 a months of this sort of thing at 75 years a night
you would be getting a little 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, 'cos 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 adventurous
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
