   "we don,t have." I, do not have.   
      
   Self takes of the dream, I dream.   
      
   I, gives self a dream to remember.

   When I, talk about a dream, I say, I did this or I saw that in a dream.   
   Therefore then I is not, not dreaming. I then, create the dream for self   
   to remember.   
      
   Why? Because that is where I,am is taking you.

   No. I, is beyond self. Self remembers by trying to grasp what I,am is doing.   
      
   Self is, what I,am is not. Therefor I,am is not self. See.   
      
   When I gives a dream to self. Reality becomes the dream that I knows is   
   real.
