Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman
who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
This is how I distinguish dreaming and waking. When I am awake I
can, in some degree, account for and study my dream. The dragon that pursued me
last night can be fitted into my waking world. I know that there are such
things as dreams; I know that I had eaten an indigestible dinner; I know that a
man of my reading might be expected to dream of dragons. But while in the
nightmare I could not have fitted in my waking experience. The waking world is
judged more real because it can thus contain the dreaming world; the dreaming
world is judged less real because it cannot contain the waking one. For the
same reason I am certain that in passing from the scientific points of view to
the theological, I have passed from dream to waking. Christian theology can fit
in science, art, morality, and the sub-Christian religions. The scientific
point of view cannot fit in any of these things, not even science itself. I
believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I
see it, but because by it I see everything else.
