After a period of lucid dreaming, I am having a hard time waking up. I feel half immersed in dreams, even when I am brushing my teeth.
I go outside, and see that it is pleasantly snowing. When I get to the house, Chung Tzu is in the kitchen.
"I had lucid dreams before I woke up, and now I'm trying to be awake." I say to him.
"No, you're still asleep." Chung Tzu says.
"How can I wake up?"
"Well, the best you've done, is to be semi-awake."
"When was that?"
"Oh, I guess about 7 months ago, for about 15 minutes."
"I guess that's better than nothing."
"Sure. I think, possibly, you'll be semi-awake again in about 6 weeks."
"If I go on retreat?"
"Yeah. You tend to be very sleepy around here."
We are quiet. He blows on his tea. Meanwhile, I see it has been gently, softly snowing, all along.
"Going on a retreat would be nice."
