Observer in Dreams

A man confirms there is no separate dreamer during dreams, only mind activity. Rupert agrees but notes the mind still localises itself as an apparently separate subject. When the man extends this to the waking state – consciousness appearing from a localised viewpoint – Rupert affirms this insight while acknowledging its potentially shocking nature. He clarifies that recognising oneself as the observer is a crucial first step, liberating one from identification with experience. Deeper investigation reveals this observer is not a finite, localised consciousness but infinite awareness itself – making the witness stage a necessary halfway step that ultimately must be transcended.
