:02:01
I was just traveling around...
:02:04
you know, staring out the windows of buses and trains and cars, you know.
:02:07
When I was at home, I was, like, flipping through the TV stations endlessly,
:02:10
reading.
:02:11
I mean, how many dreams do you have where you read in a dream?
:02:15
Wait. Man, there was this book I just read on the bus -
:02:18
You know, it was my dream, so I guess I wrote it or something.
:02:21
But, uh, man, it was bizarre. It was like, uh...
:02:23
the premise for this whole book...
:02:25
was that every thought you have creates its own reality, you know?
:02:29
It's like every choice or decision you make...
:02:31
the thing you choose not to do...
:02:33
fractions off and becomes its own reality, you know...
:02:35
and just goes on from there forever.
:02:38
I mean, it's like...
:02:40
uh, you know, in the Wizard of Oz...
:02:42
when Dorothy meets the Scarecrow and they do that little dance at that
:02:44
crossroads...
:02:45
and they think about going all those directions...
:02:47
then they end up going in that one direction.
:02:49
I mean, all those other directions, just because they thought about it...
:02:52
became separate realities.
:02:54
They just went on from there and lived the rest of their life.
:02:56
I mean, entirely different movies, but we'll never see it...
:02:59
because, you know, we're kind of trapped in this one reality restriction
:03:02
type of thing.
:03:04
Another example would be like back there at the bus station.
:03:07
As I got off the bus, the thought crossed my mind...
:03:09
you know, just for a second, about not taking a cab at all.
:03:12
But, you know, like maybe walking, or bummin' a ride or something like that.
:03:16
I'm kind of broke right now. I should've done that probably.
:03:18
But, uh, just 'cause that thought crossed my mind...
:03:20
there now exists at this very second...
:03:22
a whole 'nother reality where I'm at the bus station...
:03:25
and you're probably giving someone else a ride, you know?
:03:28
I mean, and that reality thinks of itself as this -
:03:31
it thinks of itself as the only reality, you know.
:03:33
I mean, at this very second, I'm in that -
:03:35
I'm back at the bus station just hangin' out, you know...
:03:38
probably thumbin' through a paper.
:03:40
You know, probably goin' up to a pay phone.
:03:44
Say this beautiful woman just comes up to me, just starts talking to me, you
:03:47
know?
:03:49
Uh, she ends up offering me a ride, you know.
:03:51
We're hitting it off. Go play a little pinball.
:03:53
And we go back to her apartment, I mean, she has this great apartment.
:03:56
I move in with her, you know.
:03:59
Say I have a dream some night...
