From the Somnia Tarot, the World; from the Lojong for the Layperson deck, Slogan 2 (Regard all experiences as dreams.):
The fool's journey has come to a temporary end, and she spends time reflecting on her journey. Dramas and chaos, insights and transformations are all described in her journal. But she shouldn't get to comfy in that bed-chair. This is just one complete turn of the spiral; she will take what she's learned as she begins a second, wider and higher turn. Slogan 2 doesn't mean everything is literally a dream, but that our thoughts and emotions as well as external things are constantly in flux and changing. We'd like to believe things are stable and solid (as this gives us a feeling of security), but that is not how the real world operates. The wise fool knows she can't stay in her nest forever because she will need to add more tools and knowledge as she adapts to this ever-changing world.
Every situation is a passing memory.
