But who is dreaming that super-powerful mind? We, or
some super-super-powerful mind?

"With relief, with humiliation, with terror,
he understood that he also was an illusion,
that someone else was dreaming him."
- J.L.Borges, Las Ruinas Circulares

"We (that indivisible divinity that operates within us) 
have dreamed the world. We have dreamed it as enduring, 
mysterious, visible, ubiquitous in space and stable in time; 
but we have consented to tenuous and eternal intervals
of illogicalness in its architecture that we might know 
it is false."
- J.L.Borges, Avatares de la Tortuga
