Paroles : Inception (I wonder/what would you do if you were god)

I wonder, I wonder, what you would do if you had the power to dream at night any dream you wanted to dream. And you would of course be able to alter your time sense, and slip say 75 years of subjective time into 8 hours of sleep.
You would, I suppose, start out by fulfilling all of your wishes. you could design for yourself what would be the most ecstatic life. Love affairs, banquets, dancing girls, wonderful journeys, er, gardens, music beyond belief.
And then after a couple of months, of this sort of thing, at 75 years a night. You would be getting a little taste of something different, and you would move over to an adventurous dimension. where there were certain dangers involved and the thrill of dealing with dangers. and you could rescue princesses from dragons and go on dangerous journeys. make wonderful explosions and blow them up, eventually get into contest with enemies.
And after you had done that for some time, you would think up a new wrinkle, to forget that you were dreaming, so that you would think it was all for real. and to be anxious about it, because it would be so great when you woke up.
And then you'd say well, like children who dare each other on things, how far out could you get? what could you take? what dimension of being lost, of abandonment of your power what dimension of that could you stand? you could ask yourself this 'cause you know you'd eventually wake up.
And after you'd had gone on doing this you see, for some time, you'd suddenly find yourself sitting around in this room, with all of your personal involvements, problems, etcetera, er, talking with me.
How do you know thats not what you are doing? Could be, because after all, what would you do if you were god? If you were, what there is, the self, and do you punish us? The basic text of Hinduism, one of them starts out saying in the beginning was the self, and looking around it said, I am. And thus it is that everyone to this day, when asked who is there, says that it is I.
If you were god, and in this sense that you knew everything, you would be bored. Because, if looking at it from another way, we push technology to its furthest possible development, and we had instead of a dial telephone on one’s desk, a more complicated system of b***ons, and one touch would give you anything you wanted, Aladdin’s lamp, you would eventually have to add a b***on labelled surprise, because all perfectly know futures are past. They have happened, virtually. It is only the true future that is a surprise. So if you were god, you would say to yourself: man, get lost.
