and I fell. The animals came closer. I ran into a hut, slammed the door and
locked it. Now the beasts were trying to get to me from the windows. I
picked up an iron bar, trying desperately to defend myself and to escape.
At that point I was awakened by a car horn. When I realized it was only
a dream, I took a deep breath and was relieved.

MURAD: What's the difference between what we experience while
awake and our dreams? Maybe you never thought about that. Maybe it
never occurred to you, but dreams will help a lot to understand this
subject. Even if a dream is extremely vivid while it takes place, from the
moment we immerse ourselves in daily life, the dream loses its clarity and
effect. Someone, who woke up in a sweat from a nightmare a little while
ago, soon eats breakfast with none of the disturbing feelings his dream
evoked. Or a child who is awakened for school in the midst of a pleasant
dream quickly forgets the delight of the dream by the time he washes his
face. The events in a dream are sometimes so vivid that often, when
people awaken, they wonder whether or not the dream was real. In fact,
technically speaking, there's little difference between the world we
experience while awake and the dreams we have while asleep. In the
course of a dream, a person can experience anything that happens while
awake; he can talk, eat, breathe, run, laugh, cry, feel pain and so on. The
dream world is a copy of the every-day world. Therefore, people react to
events in dreams as though they were real. Sometimes they wake up
screaming from a frightening dream and don't want to wake up at all
from a pleasant one.

faster to impress them. I remember very well the vivid smell of the sea,
and the strong wind and cold spray of salty water on my face as the high
powered speed boat sped through the water. Occasionally I had to wipe
the mist of the seawater spray from my glasses. Suddenly, the boat struck
