   And all the other dream characters, perhaps,   
   do not realize they are all manifestations of you.   
      
   You might see them as being asleep in a way,   
   even though they appear to be awake, in your dream.   
      
   They are going about, doing what they are doing,   
   never suspecting they are all characters, holographics,   
   supposedly born in the gaps between your neurons.   
      
   If you were to speak to one of them, appearing,   
   as you might, to be a flame or whatever form you chose,   
   and began to tell that one, to whom you were speaking, all   
   about how you, in former times, were known by many names,   
   but now, you were going to do something really amazing,   
   that character, in your dream, might scoff at you.   
      
   You then might put that character, in your dream, thru a few   
   tests of sorts, to make a believer out of him. And then,   
   empowered by the power you imbued   
   he could go on, to do great   
   things and be called a   
   regular Moses .
