Something to ponder:
There is definitely an observable dreamlike quality to the Universe (or All That Is or Zero Point Field) from which we are sourced, which leads me to pose this question:
There is definitely an observable dreamlike quality to the Universe (or All That Is or Zero Point Field) from which we are sourced, which leads me to pose this question:
Are we dreamed? And if so, who or what is dreaming us?

This wonderful writing showed up again decades after I first saw it! What perfect timing. I loved the message of this "handout" message years ago, and appreciate it even more now.
The Rules for Being Human
1. You will receive a body.
You may like or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."
4. A lesson is repeated until learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end.
There is not part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. "There" is no better than "here".
When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better than "here".
7. Others are merely mirrors for you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need, what you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie inside you.
The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this!
