About This Quote
"I have fallen into an abyss. I live in a world so curious, so strange. Of the dream that was my life, this is my nightmare. " by Rainer Maria Rilke tells about an experience of falling asleep and waking up in a new reality.
This dream character has lost his former self, but he has also gained something new and different; he acquired a new understanding of himself and even acquired new values and beliefs. People often fall into the abyss and they cannot get out of it. When they wake up, they feel like nothing has changed and they feel like what happened to them was just a dream.
The only thing that has changed is their perception about what has happened to them.
