Dream Time is wisdom when in the minds of the wise because it releases the mind from attachment to the impermanent world and life which mitigates suffering.
Dream Time is the highest wisdom but a human being must know how to love and care for their life appropriately (otherwise Dream Time becomes a destructive nihilist fantasy).
For the wise, the Buddha taught:
Form [the body] is like a glob of foam;
feeling, a bubble;
perception, a mirage;
mental fabrications, a banana tree [void of inner hardwood];
consciousness, a magic trick —
this has been taught
by the Kinsman of the Sun.
However you observe them,
appropriately examine them,
they're empty, void
to whoever sees them
appropriately.
Beginning with the body
as taught by the One
with profound discernment:
when abandoned by three things
— life, warmth, & consciousness —
form is rejected, cast aside.
When bereft of these
it lies thrown away,
senseless,
a meal for others.
That's the way it goes:
it's a magic trick,
an idiot's babbling.
No substance here
is found.
