A person who counts his money with a great deal of satisfaction is actually counting money in his brain. He does not
realize that the yacht he sails with so much pride and ostentation, the people he tries to impress and the scenery are all
impressions formed in his brain. If the truth were told to him, he would forcefully reject it in order not to lose all the
things he owns and the esteem he enjoys. However, the same person can dream that he owns all these things and, in that
dream, never doubts their reality. If he were told in his dream that he is not the real owner of these things, he would not
accept it. But when he woke up, he would understand that it was all a fantasy.
