BioThis is a dream-diary. For my own personal benefit. Especially since I'm known to ruin notebooks. So I started this up.
It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else. -- Erma Bombeck
All that you see or seem, is but a dream within a dream. -- Edgar Allan Poe
Dream is Destiny -- Waking Life
"Let me explain to you the nature of the universe. Philip K. Dick is right about time, but he's wrong that it's 50 A.D. Actually, there's only one instant, and it's right now, and it's eternity. And it's an instant in which God is posing a question, and that question is basically, 'Do you want to be one with eternity? Do you want to be in heaven?' And we're all saying, 'No thank you. Not just yet.' And so time actually is just this constant saying No to God's invitation. That's what time is, and it's no more 50 A.D. than it's 2001. There's just this one instant, and that's what we're always in." Then she tells me that actually, this is the narrative of everyone's life. That behind the phenomenal differences, there is but one story, and that's the story of moving from No to Yes. All of life is like, "No thank you, no thank you, no thank you," then ultimately it's, "Yes, I give in, yes, I accept, yes, I embrace." That's the journey. Everyone gets to Yes in the end, right?
How did you finally get out of the dream? See, that's my problem. I'm trapped. I keep thinking that I'm waking up, but I'm still in a dream. It seems like it's going on forever. I can't get out of it, and I want to wake up for real. How do you really wake up?
I don't know. I don't know. I'm not very good at that anymore. But if that's what you're thinking, you probably should. I mean, if you can wake up, you should, because some day you won't be able to. But it's easy. Just wake up. -- Waking Life
