You dream that you are awake, you dream that you are asleep --- and you do not realize you are dreaming because you are still in the dream!
Indeed, when you do realize that this is all a dream, you will have already awakened.
*************
One who has seen his true nature, no longer regards life as being full of menace and misery as most people do.
His previously mistaken sense of personal
volition and responsibility, has disappeared in such freedom and joy, that life is now just an amusing spectacle like a game or dream, in which he has no real part.
