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
