More From Leo Kottke

I only have two kinds of dreams: the bad and the terrible. bad dreams i can cope with. they're just nightmares, and the end eventually. i wake up. the terrible dreams are the good dreams. in my terrible dreams, everything is fine. i am still with the company. i still look like me. none of the last five years ever happened. sometimes i'm married. once i even had kids. i even knew their names. everything's wonderful and normal and fine. and then i wake up, and i'm still me. and i'm still here. and that is truly terrible.

Yes i have made a lot of money and i have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and i know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. i really just thought this is like a strange dream. i have never thought this is a success - i don't have a standard.

Let me explain something to you. look around here. how many people do you count? sixty, eighty, eighty people? greeks, germans, italians, french, americans. tourists from everywhere. eating, drinking, talking, laughing. and from bombay - indians and iranians and afghans and arabs and africans. but how many of these people have real power, real destiny, real dynamic for their place, and their time, and the lives of thousand of people? i will tell you - four. four people in this room with power, and the rest are like the rest of the people everywhere: powerless, sleepers in the dream.
