*"Everything we see in this waking state is like a dream. These dreams are our thoughts made manifest. Bad thoughts make bad dreams and good thoughts make good dreams, and if you have no thoughts you don't dream at all. But even if you do dream, you must understand that your dream is also the Self. You don't have to suppress thoughts or be absolutely thoughtless to abide as the Self. If you know that even your waking and sleeping dreams are the Self, then thoughts and the dreams they produce can go on. They will not be a problem for you any more. Just be the Self at all times. In this state you will know that everything that appears to you is just a dream."

The Emperor has decreed an end to all dreams. In this words: "As the Emperor of Meanascatshit Province, I declare an end to all dreams and any discussion of such. Any man, woman, or child caught up in a dream shall be banished and sentenced to live out the rest of his or life in reality."

My Dad's favorite quote was this one, from Shakespeare:
"A thing is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so."
