 Quoting: Unit3



Really, you never actually fall asleep. You are all ways aware.

What we call sleeping or dreaming is simply your interpretation of other values that are not so relative to where you're standing now (With "going to sleep" the act of making that transition.)

We interpret those foreign values all the time while not "sleeping". We may find ourselves daydreaming, with missing time, in a coma, being in situations that don't make sense to us, et c.

So, "gui7lus minor tresemble.II" in one perspective (dreaming) becomes "chasing people" in an other (thinking about your dream).

Both are interpretations of the same thing. But your waking mind does not remember "gui7lus minor tresemble.II" because it is not relative to it. Instead, it interprets the geometry of relationships in a way that does make sense and comes up with "chasing people".

And so (most importantly) we are chasing people in a dream and cashing checks while awake.

(While awake, we are also interpreting these relationships. We are not really looking at a monitor reading these words, since an absolute monitor cannot possibly exist. Our "reality" is comprised entirely of interpreting relationships.)

And so, the value of interaction (so that there could be relationships) and the meaninglessness of One-ness.

I found this fascinating, Chaol and only glimpse the tip of the iceberg of what it might mean.

My questions are -

1. Why is 'sleeping' so important to us? Sleep deprivation is used as torture, even. Why do we need this interpretation of (some) foreign values? We could just ignore the lot of them, as we apparently ignore so many.

2. So when we appear to remember a dream, does the story have any connection to what we were experiencing in the dream world? Like with Unit's example above, was that her interpretation of a dreamworld experience where she was having fun, not necessarily with hot sauce? Or could she have been having a completely different thing going on?

3. Do I understand rightly ~

we don't sleep;
we don't shut down in order to rest;
We are fully aware and our dream stories are us translating experiences from the dreamworld so that they make sense in the waking world?

Hope this is clear

Also, could you explain what you mean by 'most importantly) we are chasing people in a dream and cashing checks while awake'

Thanks, Chaol
