I was a monk working somewhere in the monastery grounds. I was wearing thick heavy robes tied at the waist with a heavy rope. There was a nun about 10 feet away to my left there were other monks and nuns in the vicinity also. We were tending to the gardens. I was nearest to a set of concrete steps which divided two levels of grasses. There was a monastry building off in the distance to the left. I could hear some bells ringing in one of the towers. The sun was bright, the sky was blue, mostly clear and there was a cool wind blowing from my right. I felt a little tired since I had been working since dawn and was looking forward to returning to the monastery later on.

I was not surpised by any of this and had no recollection of any other existence. My thoughts seemed calm and I felt utterly at peace with who I was and where I was. I knew that I was real and that my reality was real.

Suddenly I was wrenched from my universe into an utterly alien and complex universe. Suddenly I had a new set of memories thrust violently into my brain and my peaceful normal life was shattered forever. I was left sitting in a swivel chair with a water pipe in my hand and a shocked expresssion on my face.

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream/merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily/life is but a dream.
