and I can learn to love
and make love...

1:14:04
to the paradoxes
that bug me.

1:14:06
And on really romantic
evenings of self,

1:14:09
I go salsa dancing
with my confusion.

1:14:12
Before you drift off,
don't forget.

1:14:15
Which is to say,
remember.

1:14:17
Because remembering is so much more
a psychotic activity than forgetting.

1:14:23
Lorca in that
same poem said...

1:14:25
that the iguana will bite those
who do not dream.

1:14:30
And as one realizes...
1:14:34
that one
is a dream figure...

1:14:36
in another person's dream,
1:14:40
that is self-awareness.
1:15:08
You haven't
met yourself yet.

1:15:13
But the advantage to meeting others
in the meantime...

1:15:17
is that one of them
may present you to yourself.

1:15:24
Examine the nature...
1:15:26
of everything
you observe.

1:15:29
For instance,
1:15:31
you might find yourself
walking through...

1:15:33
a dream parking lot.
1:15:37
And, yes, those are dream feet
inside of your dream shoes.

1:15:41
Part of your dream self.
And so,

1:15:44
the person you appear
to be in the dream...

1:15:47
cannot be
who you really are.

1:15:50
This is an image,
1:15:52
a mental model.
