The dream, aka ‘right now,’ accurately displays where all the dreamers in the dream are with the fact they are dreamers in the dream mind is dreaming. The dream displays how much duality every dreamer in the dream creates to defend the fiction the self is real, and it belongs, therefore, to a person.
No dreamer in this dream can defend the fiction it is a ‘real person’ in this dream without the fiction the self is real. Defending the fiction the self is real is “The Main Event” in this dream because without that fiction mind can’t feature the dreamers ‘playing the part of people in this dream.’
The problem is, if right now is only a mind generated dream, then there is no way the dream can include people, only dreamers creating duality to create the self they use in the dream to do personhood convincingly. The lie the dreamer is a person depends on the lie the self is real. The dream features everything the dreamers do in this dream to defend the lie the self is real. Since the defense of the lie the self is real takes place in the dream, the dream mind is dreaming can only be a charade. No dreamer can prove it is a person in this dream with the self because there is no one to have a self. This is what makes reality a mind generated charade. The dream is always what right now is, exactly, and it reflects how much, and what kind of duality each dreamer creates in the dream to defend the fiction the self is real.
The dream requires amnesia so the dreamers in the dream can dismiss truth in order to fill time with the fiction duality will prove the self is real. A dreamer can’t know the truth, consciously, and fill time defending the lie the self is real, simultaneously. If mind didn’t include amnesia in the architecture of this dream, all the dreamers would know mind is dreaming them creating duality to defend the lie the self is real. The charade depends on amnesia to obscure truth so the dreamers can fill time using the invented self to do personhood convincingly.
The D Scale reflects how much, and what kind of duality each dreamer requires in this charade to deliver a convincing personhood skit. The dreamer’s skit gives the invented self a way to play the part of some kind of person. A dreamer wakes up in the dream when it reconnects with the skit it occupies in the dream to defend the lie the self is real. It shifts from the fiction it is a person — to the truth it is a dreamer in the dream creating duality to defend the fiction it is a person. This is what the dreamers in this dream get to do. Mind can’t dream this charade unless the dreamers in the dream create duality to defend the lie the self is real.
When a dreamer wakes up in the dream, it reconnects with the fact it is a dreamer in the dream mind is dreaming, and it can own the duality it creates in the dream to drag out the fiction the self is real. The dreamer reconnects with the fact it is in the dream mind is dreaming, and that it fills time engaged in this charade. Mind is dreaming the dreamers engaged in this charade as fundamental content in this dream. The dream manifests as “reality,” and it accurately displays where all the dreamers fall on The D Scale, somewhere between awake, and one with the truth it is a dreamer in the dream mind is dreaming, or busy creating duality to defend the fiction it is a ‘real person’ in this charade.
The point is, if right now is the dream mind is dreaming, then mind is dreaming a charade because there is no way a dreamer in this dream can prove it is the person it imPERSONates in the dream with reiterated duality and the fictitious self. The charade features the dreamers dismissing truth as false, thanks to amnesia, to drag out the fiction duality will prove the dreamer is ‘the real person’ it portrays with the skit it delivers in the dream, day in and day out.
Right now, aka “reality,” is the charade mind is dreaming, featuring how mind populates the dream with ‘people.’ Because right now is only a mind generated charade, there are no people, only dreamers filling time in the dream with reiterated duality to drag out the fiction the self is real. When a dreamer drops the lie it can prove it is a person in this dream with the invented self, it wakes up in the dream. The dream includes this option as an ‘outcome’ in the dream. Waking up has absolutely nothing to do with people. The dream displays where all the dreamers fall on The D Scale in defense of the lie the self is real, and it belongs to a person. It can only belong to the dreamer in this dream who relies on it in this charade to prolong the fiction it is the person it is imPERSONating.
Amnesia features the dreamers stuck in the trance they occupy to prolong the fiction they are the people they portray in this dream. On The D SCale, when D is low, the dreamer knows, or almost knows, it relies on duality to defend the fiction the self is real, which means it knows, or almost knows, it is defending the fiction it is a person in the charade mind is dreaming. Low D shows up as humor, openness, non reactivity, and acceptance of all the imPERSONators in the dream because it knows, or almost knows, nothing going on involves people.
As D increases, the dreamer in the charade becomes increasingly stuck in the fiction it is the person it portrays in the dream. It treats duality as real, as if it really thinks, for example, events in the dream were real and not events in the dream, and that dreamers in the dream were ‘real people,‘ and not dreamers stuck in dualistic stories to defend the fiction the self is real. If right now can only be a mind generated dream, then either everything is or isn’t content in the this dream. If everything can only be content in this dream, then this explains why the dream is absolute: nothing exists outside the dream mind is dreaming.
The D scale measures the dreamer’s level of commitment to defend “The Master Lie,” that right now is real and not a mind generated charade, and that all the dreamers in this dream are the people they appear to be in this charade. Dreamers high on The D Scale become increasingly angry about the fact it isn’t possible for a dreamer in this charade to prove it is the person it portrays in its skit. Amnesia obscures what the dreamer is angry about, and duality features it insisting dreamers are people, and more often than not, bad people. Since there are no people, duality works in this charade to keep dreamers in place as ‘real people.’ As D increases, the dreamer works harder in the charade to keep everything real so it can defend the fiction it is a real person because it is a victim.
If right now is only a mind generated dream, then there is no one to be any kind of a victim, which explains why “The Victim Parody” occupies center state in this dream. Playing the part of a victim works best in this charade to prolong the defense of “The Master Lie.” It works to defend the fiction the self is real because nothing is more real than ‘a suffering self.’
As D increases, this charade displays how dreamers defending the fiction the self is real with the story the one it has is ‘damaged.’ If this is only a mind generated charade, there is no one to have any kind of a self, including ‘a damaged self.’ As D increases, the dreamers are obligated to defend the lie their story is valid to defend the lie something is wrong with the self they insist they have.
Amnesia hides the dreamer’s attachment to the fiction it has a ‘damaged self.’ In this charade, defending the fiction the self is real depends on defending the lie the self is real because it is damaged. The defense of this fiction is time consuming. If time is all we get, The D Scale accurately reflects how much time dreamers devote to the defense of the lie ‘a damaged self is a real self.‘ If something is shocking in this dream, it is how much the dreamers are willing to suffer to defend the lie the self is real and that the one they insist they have is damaged. In this dream, the dreamers first allegiance is to the lie the self is real, even if this requires high levels of suffering. Obesity, for example, works to defend the fiction the self is not only real, but excess fat serves as visible proof someone has a ‘damaged self.’ it’s hard to lose weight when weight services the lie the dreamer is a ‘real person’ because it is victimized by obesity.
The defense of the lie the self is real is “The Main Event” in this charade. The good news is that truth reveals nothing going on has anything to do with people, and that when a dreamer reconnects with the truth, it can drop whatever it relies on to prolong the fiction suffering will prove it is a ‘real person’ because it has a ‘damaged self.’
When a dreamer wakes up in this dream, time is no longer devoted exclusively to the lie suffering will work to prove truth is false. Imagine what the dreamers would do with time in this charade if they got it that defending the lie the self is real is, quite literally, a waste of time. If suffering can’t prove the self is real, what would life in this dream be like with a major reduction in the level of suffering. Dream about that!
