Gets murkier when we extrapolate the dream logic to waking state. If we as mind-body are not the subject (doer) but rather an object, then who (as us) is the dreamer or subject and how may we as the object awake within the dream, since then we’re a manifestation? There is a way to find out, of course!

We’re in a state of hypnosis, Victor, hypnotised by the environment, imprisoned by mind and enslaved by our senses.
