From the perspective of the dream character and the content of its mind, thought and perception appear as time and space.
Given the separate self’s activity is thinking, sensing and perceiving, it experiences a body and world in time and space and has no access to the eternity and infinity of God’s mind.

Once the dream character’s attention turns towards its source via the inquiry into: ‘What is the reality of my experience?’ and ‘What am I truly?’, it is in the process of realizing the eternal and infinite nature of its mind, as being none other than God’s mind.
