Emptiness and Objects

[lex icon]

Nemo, what I am saying is; that when we awake within a dream, and as you say bring our waking life into the dream, there is a profound recognition, and with this recognition we are aware that we can "do" different things, that different possibilities are immediately available. We can if we wish just start flying or transform into a ball of light etc.
Now on the other hand when we claim that our waking life is but a dream, which it is, what do we mean? In what way does knowing that this waking life is but a dream impact us? Why is this waking life a dream? It seems that it is popular to claim that this waking life is just a dream but we don't really know why!
Gonzo has said "perhaps there is no such thing as awakening"...
That's a very big non-committal, that perhaps. What do you think Gonzo is there awakening or not? And either way why do think that?
I mean can we dig in and really explore what it is we are saying and meaning? The meanings and the implications of our broad statements are probably more beneficial and informative that the statements themselves.
So anyone want to say how they came upon the profound recognition that life is a dream and how it has impacted them?
