Of all the things dreamers keep in place as
proof for the lie right now is real and not a dream, is fear. It works because it feels awful, and the lie right now is real relies on the assumption that what feels awful must be real. If you scan where ten dreamers in the dream are with the fact truth is absolute, meaning nothing dreamers do in the dream has any chance to prove this is not a dream, you get to witness our addiction to the fiction fear, at least, is real, and can be counted on to give truth a run for the money.
The vast majority of us rarely get the opportunity to challenge the credibility of fear: we take it for granted that because we feel it, we must be ‘fearful people.’ It should come as no surprise that everyone doing ‘personhood’ in this dream works as a team to defend the fiction fear isn’t content in this dream: it is the sine qua non for ‘the real,’ and if you even allude to the possibility dreamers in the dream depend on fear to do personhood believably in the dream, you are persona non grata in a millisecond. The speed of this reaction should serve as your first clue that 1) everyone knows what the truth is, and that 2) dreamers have all signed some invisible agreement to defend the lie fear isn’t part of the dream. The truth is, it’s not only content in the dream, it works perfectly in the dream to dismiss the fact it is one.
