We are multidimensional in nature, I would no more reject dreaming than I would life.Posted by Ernie Nemeth (here)
My solution, as always, was to reject dreaming altogether. To my way of thinking, this life is a dream, a very vivid dream, and at night when we sleep we're actually awake in our real, eternal lives. So dreaming, I determined, was merely practice for the 'real' thing - this 'life' when we 'wake'. Why would I want to practice the art of delusion?
Dreaming which you reference as practicing the art of delusion seems no different to me than referencing everyday life which is practicing the art of, illusion. I think that in both cases the idea is to produce a work of art and inject meaning at that level.
