We can escape the determinism of our current predicaments and achieve a state of “temporal grace” by dreaming; with our imaginations design a set of conditions that exist in the realm of future possibilities. By developing the mental dexterity required to allow dreaming to affect our present actions, we are freed from the dictates of current or prior events and can move, even if only gradually, toward that set of circumstances by which and within which we desire our lives to be molded. In this way, one’s life becomes a conscious exercise instead of an unconscious servitude shoved into the future by the inertia of past events.
