Reframe: The Dream of Life
What if you could have everything you’ve ever wanted… and eventually, you chose this exact life?
In this short reflection, Alan Watts plays with the idea of being able to dream any life imaginable: endless pleasure, adventure, beauty, surprise. And then, eventually, choosing a life you couldn’t completely control or predict. A life that feels remarkably like the one you’re living now.
It’s only a few minutes, but I love the perspective shift it offers. It invites us to loosen our grip on how life is supposed to unfold and become curious about the mystery of being here at all. Maybe uncertainty, surprise, longing, challenge, beauty, and the unknown aren’t interruptions to the dream.
