Dreams For Which There Are No Dreamers

[Intro] [vinyl crackle, clean electric guitar enters with jazz chords] [muffled kick and snare enter] [Verse 1] [spoken male vocals] And that's the first thing that starts people really thinking because you soon realize that a lot of the things you think you would want are not things you want at all. [mechanical clicking sound] Supposing just for the sake of illustration, you had the power to dream every night any dream you wanted to dream. [clicking repeats] And you could of course arrange for one night of dreams to be seventy-five years of subjective time, or any number of years of subjective time. What would you do? Well of course you'd start out by fulfilling every wish. You would have routs and orgies and uh, all the most magnificent food and uh, sexual partners and everything you could possibly imagine in that direction. [clicking repeats] When you've got tired of that, after several nights, you would switch a bit and you'd soon find yourself involved in adventures and contemplating great works of art, fantastic mathematical conceptions. You would soon be rescuing princesses from dragons and all sorts of things like that. And then one night you'd say, "Now look, tonight what we're going to do is we're going to forget this dream is a dream." And we're going to be really uh, shocked. [clicking repeats] And when you woke up from that one you'd say, "Whew, wasn't that an adventure?" Then you'd think more and more far out ways to get involved and let go of control, knowing that you'd always come back to center in the end. But while you were involved in the dream you wouldn't know you'd, you were going to come back to center and be in control. And so eventually you'd be dreaming a dream in which you found yourselves all sitting around in this room listening to me talking, all involved with the particular life problems which you have.
