I also like that both you and Lex have highlighted the dreamer as but a part of the dream. The dream is not the result of one dreaming. Rather the dreamer and dream occur together. This is getting to dependent origination, hence why origins--understanding the impact of, and examining the subconscious assumptions about them are central to unraveling the core. As long as its perceived there was a beginning (an origin), then around this will revolve the perceptual notions of the one who supposedly began. The dreamer began, so its thought. The dreamer then can endure, so its thought. The dream will end and hence so will the dreamer, so its thought.
