   Depends on your frame of reference. "Constant" and "never" might describe   
   one lifetime for some people. From the multi-incarnational perspective   
   nightmarish situations are neither constant nor permanent. They balance out   
   with pleasant experiences, but both turn out to have been unreal and   
   dreamlike. The same people who you point to as currently living a life of   
   constant nightmare from which they never wake up, previously have had   
   pleasant lives which seemed like they would go on forever, and they will   
   again. This should be seen--in terms of fairness of life, at least--against   
   a backdrop of hundreds of thousands of lives.   
      
   Secondly, the analogy is not a perfect analogy. In the analogy it is someone   
   else trying to wake the person up, but in reality it is your own higher Self   
   trying to wake you, yourself, up. So it is not someone external to you   
   making the decisions.
