    What do you do when you can’t decide out of all the possible options what would be good for you next?

      Beyond familiarity with the common trajectory and a willing to influence the outcomes I don’t know exactly what particular expirience will follow.

      However, My reasoning is that no particular event should be judged as good or bad in itself, but there are skillful ways and unskillful ways to participate in any expirience.

      For example, between losing an arm or winning a lottery, I prefer to win the lottery and not to lose an arm. However if I lose an arm I will not regard it as a detriment at all, all else remaining the same this event can be interpreted as an opportunity to cultivate mental virtues, also I can learn about how such apparent loss affect my mind and contemplate the possible reasons for such effect, etc…

      On the other hand even if I win the lottery, if I fall in negligence and stray from my mental training, there will be no true benefit for myself from acquiring such wealth.

      That being said, my purpose while playing with my dream is threefold:

      • To enjoy whatever activity I choose to do.
      • To learn with every expirience
      • To achieve my relative goals within the dream.
