Your memories cannot work without the medium of dreaminess. More and more oxygen must be there: the more the oxygen, the less you fall victim to the dream.
It is nothing but a chemical device to change the chemical atmosphere in you. That is why I insist on vigorous breathing. So, if the reverse is possible – if the oxygen in you and around you is more and carbon dioxide is thrown out – you cannot be dreamy. The chemical components change: at night there is more carbon dioxide in the air and the oxygen is less. That is why in the day you cannot be so dreamy as at night. I will tell you something: dreaminess becomes more possible if there is more carbon dioxide around you. I create situations in which you cannot help but be alert – situations in which dreaminess is impossible. Just telling you to be alert will not make you meditative.
