The world as a dream .

When you dream, the story of the dream doesn't really exist even though it seems so real .The reason it doesn't exist is for 2 reasons. One you can stop dreaming at any time you want and because the actors in the story don't have an independent existence. The 2 reasons cause each other, because the actors are not independent I can always stop the story/dream at will.

This world is really God's dream or thought and he is constantly keeping the dream alive .On one hand we are not independent and therefore have no real existence but on the other hand we are always part of the infinite
