> wrote down what I dreamt and realize it was just garbage :)

There's this (possibly apocryphal) story about George Orwell in Burma, where he served in the civil service. He had a friend that took Opium occasionally and felt like he deeply understood the universe and all its secrets when he was high, but could never remember it. Orwell asked him to try and write it down. What he wrote down was "The banana is big, but the skin is bigger."...



>"The banana is big, but the skin is bigger."...

Most profound insights in religion are of a similar league. Example John 8:32: 'Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'

Got to admit that the banana one is more profound that any one in religion that I encountered.
