The Monkey Who Dreams You
Imagine
that there is a monkey
who is dreaming you.
This monkey
has a vivid imagination.
This monkey dreams you
as this creature called human.
This monkey
even gives you a name.
This monkey dreams you
to believe that you are not dreaming.
And so you seem to be
this human with your name
who is not dreaming.
You are dreamed to live
this seeming life of mind and matter.
But you are
the dream of a monkey.
Mind and matter are not separate.
They are equally imaginary,
and yet the same thing.
They are both the dream
of the monkey imagining you.
Now imagine
that the dreaming monkey
is a dream also.
And so on into infinity.
We are Space Monkey.
