I remember a friend many years ago who had taped a sign to his refrigerator Theres a dream dreaming us. If you try to think about what that means it makes your mind silly but that silliness is good.
You have wakened not out of sleep, but into a prior dream, and that dream lies within another, and so on, to infinity, which is the number of grains of sand. The path that you are to take is endless, and you will die before you have truly awakened.
