Dreaming

Student: Is there any real difference between our waking state and our dream state?


SR: Not much difference, maybe. Dream land -- if you say dream, all what we are doing is dream [laughs, laughter].

Student: Aren't we?

SR: Huh?

Student: Aren't we?

SR: Maybe so [laughing, laughter]. Maybe so. Ninety-nine percent we are dreaming.
