What do dreams teach us about the waking life? That things could be worse. Or maybe even better. If time is insignificant in dreams, does that mean it is in real life too?
What does yesterday teach us about tomorrow? That we should forget. Or maybe even remember. If we learn from our mistakes, does that mean we should keep making them?
What does death teach us about life? That we shouldn’t complain. Or maybe we should. If my death were to affect you greatly, does that mean my life must have done the same?
