Waking Life Page #10

All of life is,

"No, thank you. No, thank you. "

Then ultimately it's,

"Yes, I give in.

Yes, I accept.

Yes, I embrace. "

I mean, that's the journey.

- Everyone gets to the "yes"

in the end, right? - Right.

So we continue walking,

and my dog runs over to me.

So I'm petting him. I'm really happy

to see him. He's been dead for years.

So I'm petting him

and then I realize...

there's this kind of gross oozing stuff

coming out of his stomach.

And I look over at Lady Gregory,

and she sort of coughs.

She's like...

"Oh, excuse me. "

And there's vomit dribbling down

her chin, and it smells really bad.

And I think,

"Wait a second.

"That's not just the smell of vomit,

which doesn't smell very good.

"That's the smell

of dead person vomit.

You know,

it's, like, doubly foul. "

And then I realize I'm actually in,

you know, the land of the dead.

And everyone

around me was dead.

My dog had been dead over ten years.

Lady Gregory had been longer than that.

When I finally woke up, I was like,

"Whoa. That wasn't a dream. "

That was a visitation to this

real place, the land of the dead. "

- So what happened? How did you

finally get out of it? - Oh, man.

It was just like one of those,

like, life-altering experiences.

I could never really look at the world

the same way again after that.

Yeah, but how did you

finally get out of the dream?

See, that's my problem.

I'm trapped.

I keep... I keep thinking that I'm

waking up, but I'm still in a dream.

It seems like it's going on forever.

I can't get out of it.

I wanna wake up for real.

How do you really wake up?

I don't know.

I'm not very good at that anymore.

But, um, if that's

what you're thinking,

I mean, you probably should.

If you can wake up,

you should...

because someday

you won't be able to.

So just, um...

But it's easy.

Just... Just...

wake up.
