Along the road of dreams we awaken to realize a lot of which we have wished for, was not essential to our needs. All too often we are misled of being competent and aware of our own true being, and a large portion of that which we have wanted, wished for, or dreamed of, was instead produced in vain.

We, being all of us are affected, polluted if you will to one degree or another by our conscious mind, referred to our consciousness.
