Without the creation of duality, there is no drama in the dream. Duality doesn't exist if it is the prop mind relies on to make nothing, a dream, appear to be a real something, like a 'real reality." Duality is what suffering is in this dream because there is no such thing if mind is all there is, and the defense on the dreamer's part in the dream is indefensible. Suffering is defending the indefensible as if it is defensible. In what way does your life in the dream include suffering in defense of the lie duality is real? If the dream didn't include the fiction duality is real, how could a dreamer insist it has a self? Mind dreams the dreamers creating duality in the dream to create the lie the invented self will work to prove the dreamers are 'real people.' Dreamers are endlessly 'defensive' because they fill time defending the lie the self they invented can service the lie the dreamer is a 'real person.' If right now is only content in "The Mind Show," then it features 'the dreamers relying on the invented self to sustain "The Master Lie," that right now is real and not content in "The Grand Parody" mind is dreaming. Right now displays the sum of all the ways the dreamers in this dream rely on the invented self to defend the fiction the dreamers in the dream are 'real people.' Dreamers suffer from defending the lie duality wlll work to prove they are 'real people,' when, in the context of the dream, that's not possible.

However, I am not happy about your use of the word 'duality'. To me, duality is the necessary and inevitable outcome of manifestation of what we are as what we appear to be as phenomena or dream creatures. Duality is the splitting of the whole to create the seer and the seen. What we ignorant humans manage to do is then identify with the seer part of the duality to create 'dualism'. I don't think this is a term that Wei Wu Wei uses but I have seen it somewhere or other and I find usefully distinguishes between the two processes. Jasper As perceptive as ever!
