---

Waking is but a unit in a triad of facts about the world's existence. All waking investigations into the universe do not exhaust its meaning; they will always leave a residue too important to be ignored. The world as known to the dreamer is not the whole world. But it is equally true that the world as known to the waking man is just as limited. The facts offered by the dream state differ from those offered by the sleep state while both differ from those of the waking state. Each standpoint will necessarily arrive at a different conception of the world from others.
