A question.So what are people supposed to do if they want to avoid a collision {thud!} but still lie in the field, enjoying the clouds drifting by, listening to the grass grow-not thinking, in other words? Sound hard? Not at all. Logically, it's easy. C'est simple. The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams, and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time.In dreams you don't need to make any distinctions between things. Not at all. Boundaries don't exist. So in dreams there are hardly any collisions. Even if there are, they don't hurt. Reality is different. Reality bites.Reality, reality.
The passage presents a contemplative view on how individuals can evade the harshness of reality while still embracing a state of calmness and relaxation. It suggests that lying in a field, enjoying simple pleasures, can be challenging due to the potential for unwelcome interruptions. However, the text proposes a solution: to retreat into the world of dreams, where the constraints of reality fade away.
In dreams, distinctions and boundaries dissipate, allowing for a limitless experience free from the consequences often faced in the waking world. The notion of living in dreams highlights a desire to escape from life’s harsh truths, suggesting that while reality can be unforgiving, the dream realm offers a sanctuary where one can exist without collision or pain.
