I'm not unsympathetic to the notion that I am the universe engaged in a convincing dream. But then whose dream is the universe?
"there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream—a grotesque and foolish dream... And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!”
― Mark Twain
