You are dreaming the mortal dream! And the only way to wake up is not to take it seriously, but to observe it and watch it and not to react to it. But you must remind yourself in the morning when you get out of bed. “I just woke up.”, you say to yourself, “I went from one dream into another dream!” If you remind yourself of this in the morning when you wake up, you will be able to handle the whole day sufficiently. For you will not get involved in the world too much. You will not become judgmental over things. You will leave everything alone!
Imagine again that you’re dreaming at night, but now you’re aware that you’re dreaming. If you’re aware that you’re dreaming, are you going to react to anything? Will you react to situations, if you know that you’re dreaming? Of course not. You’ll laugh! You’ll see a war going on and you’ll get in the middle of the battlefield and you’ll say, “What are you doing? This is all a dream! Throw your guns away. You’re wasting your time!” Nobody dies, nobody is killed, nobody is born. It’s all a dream. And they’ll probably shoot you for saying that! Makes no difference if they shoot you! You’re aware that you’re dreaming, so you’re the witness of you being shot and you keep laughing.
And then you wake up.
