Let’s suppose that you were able every night, to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and that you could for example have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time, or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure during your sleep. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say, “Well, that was pretty great!” but now let’s have some surprise, let’s have a dream which isn’t under control, where something is going to happen to me that I don’t know what it’s going to be. And you would dig that and would come out of that and say “Wow that was a close shave, wasn’t it?”. Then you would get more and more adventurous and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now.
