The Power of Dreaming: Exploring Reality and Adventure

Dreamers explore infinite possibilities, ultimately realizing they are the ultimate reality pretending otherwise.

### The Power of Dreams: Exploring Infinite Possibilities
* 💭 Imagine having the ability to dream any dream you desire, altering your perception of time to experience **seventy-five years of subjective adventure** within just **eight hours of sleep**.
* 🎉 Initially, you would indulge in fulfilling your every wish, enjoying pleasures such as **love affairs, extravagant banquets, dancing**, and **extraordinary journeys filled with beautiful music**.
* ⚔ After a while, your dreams would shift towards **more adventurous themes**, involving **thrilling dangers** where you could **rescue princesses from dragons** and engage in **explosive contests with enemies**.
* 🌀 You might even create a twist in your dreams, forgetting that you are dreaming, making the experiences feel **real** and heightening the **anxiety and excitement** of your adventures.
* 🤔 This exploration would lead you to question **how far you could push your limits**, contemplating the dimensions of **loss and abandonment** you could endure, all while knowing you would eventually **awaken**.
* 🌌 As your dreams become increasingly adventurous, you would ultimately find yourself living the life you are currently experiencing, realizing that **every choice is part of an infinite array of possibilities**.
* 🌟 This concept suggests that everyone is fundamentally connected to the ultimate reality, embodying a **divine essence** where we are all **pretending to be separate from our true selves**.

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 journeys, 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 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 contests 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 are 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 basically whatever there is

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