When We Think, We Are Dreaming

When we think we know, we’re dreaming.
Our waking reality is the knowingness before we think we know.

True wakefulness is pure consciousness – that gap between thoughts.
We miss it every time because we’re so excited about what we think we know.

Even if we know something profound, the words are a trap of belief which fossilises wakefulness.
In the moment now, there is only pure observation.

The mechanics of thought is the excitement of knowing, as the ego thrives on narrative.
It rushes to label the gap, instantly closing it.

By immediately conceptualising an experience, we stop perceiving reality directly.
In that waking dream,we experience our thoughts about reality.

When we know that we’re dreaming, wecan work within the dream by being aware.
It’s called lucid dreaming.
