             witness to this truth in their own dreams. For example, a person lying
             down alone on a bed in a calm and quiet atmosphere at night might, in his
             dream, see himself in danger in a very crowded place. He could
             experience the event as if it were real, fleeing from danger in desperation
             and hiding behind a wall. Moreover, the images in his dreams are so
             realistic that he feels fear and panic as if he really was in danger. He has
             his heart in his mouth with every noise, is shaken with fear, his heart beats
             fast, he sweats and demonstrates the other physical affects that the human
             body undergoes in a dangerous situation.
                 A person who falls from a high place in his dream feels it with all his
             body, even though he is lying in bed without moving. Alternatively, one
             might see oneself slipping into a puddle, getting soaked and feeling cold
             because of a cold wind. However, in such a case, there is neither a puddle,
             nor is there wind. Furthermore, despite sleeping in a very hot room, one
             experiences the wetness and the cold, as if one were awake.
                 Someone who believes he is dealing with the original of the material
             world in his dream can be very sure of himself. He can put his hand on his
             friend's shoulder when the friend tells him that "it isn't possible to deal
             with the original of the world", and then ask "Don't you feel my hand on
             your shoulder? If so, how can you say that you don’t see the original
             matter? What makes you think this way? Let's take a trip up the
             Bosphorus; we can have a chat about it and you'll explain to me why you
             believe this." The dream that he sees in his deep sleep is so clear that he
             turns on the engine with pleasure and accelerates slowly, almost jumping
             the car by pressing the pedal suddenly. While going on the road, trees and
             road lines seem solid because of the speed. In addition, he breathes clean
             Bosphorus air. But suppose he is woken up by his ringing alarm clock just
             when he's getting ready to tell his friend that he's seeing the original of
             matter. Wouldn't he object in the same manner regardless of whether he
             was asleep or awake?
                 When people wake up they understand that what they've seen until
             that moment is a dream. But for some reason they are not suspicious of the
             nature of the life (what they call "real") that starts with a "waking" image.
             However, the way we perceive images in "real life" is exactly the same as
             the way we perceive our dreams. We see both of them in the mind. We
             cannot understand they are images until we are woken up. Only then do
