The Secret
The secret to a good life is very difficult
To convey in a conventional manner
One way of practicing
Is to try to learn to recognize
That you are in a dream
Without waking up
To be able to say: This is a dream
While remaining steadfastly engaged
As a participant in this
Projection of your own mind
Thus, in some ways you are sleeping
Quite soundly while in others
You are fully engrossed and alive
If you can master this very difficult
And esoteric skill, many things
Will start to fall into place
You will begin to understand that
Someone is always sleeping and
Someone is always awake
Every dream remembered becomes
A chapter in the story of a life.
Every dream forgotten
Returns to the void
And waits
In this way we are both the dreamer
And the dreamed.
Neither of which is absolutely real
In the conventional sense
And the secret is the thing that everyone already knows
