It feels like I have woken up within a dream.

“It feels like I have woken up within a dream. I haven’t left the dream, and nothing looks any different, but there a strong feeling that whatever it is that whatever I am is vastly different than what I have previously taken myself to be. This realization creates a feeling of wonder, because I grasp at a deeper level how powerful the illusion created by the mind is. (For fans of the Matrix, it sort of feels like I’ve woken up within the Matrix but I don’t have any control over the contents within. Unlike the Matrix, there is no sense that there is a body elsewhere outside the Matrix. This is an approximation of course.)”
