Opposite of Dreams

What is the opposite of a dream? Most people call it a nightmare.

It's interesting but in dreams, paradoxes actually unite. They become together. You can have opposites; you can have a ball fit into a box and at the same time that box, can be inside the ball. That's what dreams are. Now, in the opposite of a dream, a nightmare as most people call it, somethings maybe scary. An interesting concept is that any scary dream or nightmare, one wakes up right before the worst happens. Have you ever realized that? For instance, someone's running behind you but just when that person is about to catch you, you wake up. Why is that? How is that possible?

The reason is that you are the one running. You are letting that person run after you, and therefore, you won't allow the other to catch you. That's what dreams are, and so with nightmares: the ability to think of things which are above and beyond your conscious level but not so far that you're not able to control it. Therefore, right before you wake up, you actually now stop the dream even though this was at its peak, at its worst.
