"Lets suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure, you see, and after several nights you would say, well that was pretty great, but now lets have a surprise, lets have a dream which isn't under control. Well something is going to happen to me that i don't know what it's gonna be. Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now." - Alan Watts

7 years ago I used to listen to these Alan watts speeches while sitting alone in my college dorm, just Imagining what I could become. It’s incredible how much you can accomplish in 7 years and how much you can change as a person...but I still remember these simple, yet critically important moments that brought me to where I am. Wishing anyone that might read this the best, we’re all in this together ✌️

Alan Watts is the philosopher who is speaking. One of the greatest philosophers in recent time.

Ive shown this song to my dad after he beat stage 4 cancer - a miracle. It made him shed a tear. He passed away a few months ago. This will always remind me of him

The thing is, you don't want to sleep,
but you don't want to be awake.
You don't want to eat,
but you don't want to be hungry.
You don't want to be around people,
but you don't want to be alone.
You don't want to do anything,
but you don't want to do nothing.

What you really want to do is to stop existing,
but you can't do that without dying,
and you don't really want to do that either.

[Philosophical Passage - Throughout song]
“Lets suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream
And you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes

You would have every kind of pleasure, you see
And after several nights you would say, "well that was pretty great."
But now lets have a surprise, lets have a dream which isn’t under control
Well something is going to happen to me that i don’t know what it’s gonna be
Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now

If you awaken from this illusion
And you understand that black implies white
Self implies other
Life implies death
You can feel yourself, not as a stranger in the world
Not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental

What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.” (–Alan Watts)

My best friend and I listened to this song every night we went out on a drunk night. After 17 years of pure honesty and being brothers in arms for eachother, he passed away a few months ago. Took me a while to dare to listen to it again. But Alan's voice and the memories totally worth it no matter how much it hurts. Please enjoy life and appreciate your loved ones people. We roll the dice every single day

We are all connected. You can feel it, truly in this song

In debt £5000, depressed dropped out of uni, farther died, mother cut me out. I took a long look in the mirror and took baby steps. But I put in the work and kept things moving. Got a job I did not like to get me out of trouble. Moved to China and got life experience. Applied to transfer to new uni and finish my degree. Got engaged to my fiancé I met while in China. Currently have £20k in banks and £5k in investments. I have revived 1st class honours and have been awarded scholarships amazing internship opportunities internationally. My fiancé is due to move to U.K in September and I just put deposit down on a studio for us. Things were going so wrong I could never see them going this right but now I can’t believe it... but when I evaluate and self reflect often I’ll talk out loud to myself about it to let it all sink in, but I did it. On my own with the small steps. Yes it was long and hard road but for how happy I am now it was all worth it!

Lost both parents before 15th birthday. Left alone with two younger sisters and small brother.
14 years fast forward:
Black implies White.
Death implies Life
...
Im layin in bed with love of my life sleepin on my shoulder, familly good, listening this gem and writting this just to give you all - my positive thoughts.
All will be ok. Believe me. Time fix all. If you embrace situation and just live thru all.
Best of luck.

This comment section is the most 'human' thing I ever came across on youtube. Thank you all for existing. A very weird thing to say, but that's honestly just my thought atm

[supercarspotter]

when i discovered this music i was at the lowest point of my life everything was going wrong i was falling into a depression. today I come back to this video, 3-4 years later, to tell you that everything is better, my life is beautiful and I think that music has helped me enormously. for those who are at the bottom of the abyss this message is for you: keep your head up I promise you everything will work out in the end

dont remember how i got here but i dont fuckin regret it

"Life isn't measured by how many breaths you take.

Rather, it's by how many moments take your breath away."

This song has pulled me through the hardest times of my life. Can't even explain how calming and powerful those words are <3

The comment section is a good reminder that you aren’t alone in whatever you may be facing in life.

[reedyy_]

The fact that we’re all here now, it means something. And it’s good
