Notes from the Dream (circa 1982-1986) - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

I had left while lying in bed going to sleep)or what I had called reality had cracked, splitapart or been broken open and suddenly the“I” which was labeled “myself” (but was not“me”) was floating in a spacious no-thing-ness.Metaphorically this subatomic lens left mewith a curious something I “later” labeledawareness which had been unseen by myphysical eyes. Awareness carried with itinformation and an understanding. Thisinformation and understanding was part ofa very very subtle film or veil through whichNot-I-I was unknowingly looking. This veilof awareness overlaid the emptiness. In otherwords as the Not-I-I was experiencing orperceiving the emptiness through a very subtlefilm or veil called awareness which made orallowed the emptiness, the bubble-realms,and the “I” to appear. It was awarenesswhich gave the illusion of the perceiver andthe perceived being permanent stable and“real”. It was awareness which carriedthis “information” and illusory “order”, oflinearity, BUT awareness actually was justanother layer veil or film of illusion appearingon the emptiness???, Or, maybe the awarenessmade or permitted or allowed the emptiness toappear???57
