“Because memory and sensations are so uncertain, so biased, we always rely on a certain reality-call it an alternate reality-to prove the reality of events. To what extent facts we recognize as such really are as they seem, and to what extent these are facts merely because we label them as such, is an impossible distinction to draw. Therefore, in order to pin down reality as reality, we need another reality to relativize the first. Yet that other reality requires a third reality to serve as its grounding. An endless chain is created within our consciousness, and it is the very maintenance of this chain that produces the sensation that we are actually here, that we ourselves exist.”

“In dreams you don't need to make any distinctions between things. Not at all. Boundaries don't exist. So in dreams there are hardly ever collisions. Even if there are, they don't hurt. Reality is different. Reality bites. Reality, reality.”

“What we needed were not words and promises but a steady accumulation of small realities.”

“Our life here was just a momentary illusion, and someday reality would yank us back to the world we came from.”

“There are symbolic dreams-dreams that symbolize some reality. Then there are symbolic realities-realities that symbolize a dream”

“Principles and logic didn't give birth to reality. Reality came first, and the principles and logic followed.”
