Dreaming of a Theory of Consciousness

Everything that exists was once either a dream of man or a dream of God. It is through dreams that the prophets of all great religions receive their wisdom, that scientists contemplate the mysteries of the physical world, and that artists conceive works that bridge the divide between the sacred and the profane. Indeed, the entire universe dreams of itself. Since the beginning of time, evanescent particles have danced through the quantum vacuum in a cosmic reverie so potent that if you were to awake, you would swear that it all really happened.
