"Everything is a dream and only the dream exists. To explain ourselves and the world, we like to make divisions. The two main divisions are the dream and the dreamer. The dreamer dreams, yet the dream is there even without the dreamer because many other dreamers are maintaining it."We adapt to the same frequency as the dream of the planet. The dream guides the dreamer, not the other way around. We are what we believe we are, but our position in the dream changes as our awareness changes. We become aware of how we dream and of our position in it. Once we are aware that everything is a dream, we become aware that the dream is a nightmare.
"With Mastery of Transformation we can change the whole dream. It must happen at the personal level. Only by transforming ourselves, one person at a time, will the whole dream eventually be changed.
"In history, we see that human beings have always searched for eternal happiness. We seek a state of grace or a state of bliss in heaven or Nirvana or Olympus. With the kind of dream that dominates this planet, it seems impossible to reach our goal of happiness. The Toltecs knew how difficult it is to be happy. They explored how to change the dream and they discovered the first two masteries: The first is awareness and the second is personal transformation.

"The way to control the dream when we are awake is by making choices. Throughout the universe there is a process of action and reaction. The dream reacts to our choices."
