A dream is powerful partly because it is unstable, symbolic, and incomplete.
The fallen world could be understood not just as illusion, but as unfinished narration — reality under conditions of fragmentation, distortion, and partial sight.
Awakening is not destruction of story, but its completion and right reading.
The world in general, and the modern world especially, is an insane story, a schizophrenic story — everything has some weird failure and flaw.
It is “a story told by an idiot, full of sound and fury.”
