This past year I have been immersed in an online Buddhist course that has exposed me to the ideas in this piece. We were given various practices to help us experience for ourselves the truth of the teachings. A few weeks ago I was practicing with remembering the details of a recent dream. During my analysis, I had the sudden insight that I'd had similar, general experiences in my waking life! I used another dream that I remembered and realized that it, too, had similarities to my waking life. In this piece, the following words had a deep resonance for me: "Just as in a dream, a false knower, knowledge and known rise up, in the waking state the same process operates. " I meditate each day, alternating between analysis and resting, with the questions posed in this piece. I will review this one periodically. Thank you.
