Piece: “Mythical Truth”

*** I go to sleep and start dreaming. The dream is so clear that I perceive it as real, and now the dream is reality. While I am being practical and involved with reality in my dream, I wake up and realize that the dream was surreal. “The reality” and “the dream” were the same. I get up and get ready to face the real reality, but I die, and face another reality. And again I was tricked to perceive the life as real. ***
