The dreamer, like the wakeful self is a kind of locus of doership, rather than a pure experiencer. It's not that the doing serves experience in this case but that experience serves doership, even if the purposes and the goals are no more than contents of experience. It is experience counterposed with itself and a little out of phase. The dreamer however it not held in as rigid a geometry as the waking self, but is fuzzier, is smeared out to the very ends of the dream world. So in waking from a dream there is a displacing of the virtual centre, a sudden jolt backwards into facing a world of not-self. All of this takes place within the total field of experience and is not necessitated by anything outside of it. So, to be aware from the total field of experience is to dissolve the distinction between dreaming and waking worlds. It's not that they aren't different, but the difference is inessential, an imaginary alteration in the texture of doership, which is itself imaginary.
