Book Description | One day or night I dreamed that there was a grain of sand in the prison room. I went back to sleep, not caring. I dreamed that I was waking up and that there were two grains of sand. I went back to sleep and became pregnant and that there were three grains of sand. This is how it multiplied until it filled the prison. And I was dying under that hemisphere of sand. I understood that I was dreaming with great effort. I woke up. Waking up was useless. The countless sand was suffocating me. Someone told me that you did not wake up from tahajjud, but from a previous dream. That dream exists in the middle of a dream. Another and so on to infinity to which you have to go back is endless and you will die before you have truly woken up |
