每個人都迷失在自己的派對夢境中
想像一下你正在做夢。
在這個夢裡，你發現自己身處一個賓客無數的大型派對，你是其中唯一一個清醒的人，其他每個人都喝醉了。派對常客們的酒醉程度各有不同，有些人只喝了一、兩杯酒，有點微醺；多數人都進入真正喝醉的狀態；還有少數人醉到出盡各式各樣的洋相，他們可能甚至完全醉倒，因為他們的行動看起來完全失控。
派對裡有些人是你的朋友和家人、有些是認識的人，但多數人你不認得。你試著跟某些人說話，但你很快地意識到，他們醉的程度已經改變他們清楚溝通的能力，他們的觀點已經受到混淆。你也注意到，每個人在派對中有不同的體驗，端看他們喝醉到什麼程度，你們之間的互動，隨著他們喝下的每一杯酒而改變。
派對常客從吵鬧、外向和開心，到害羞、安靜和陰沉的都有。隨著派對越來越嗨，你看到每個人在兩個極端之間變化：從高興到傷心、從興奮到漠然。他們吵架並和好、爭論、擁抱，然後再次爭吵，你眼看這樣古怪的行為一整晚沒完沒了地不斷循環。你突然意識到，雖然他們全都醉了，但他們更渴望的不是酒精飲料，而是派對鬧劇。
隨著時間經過，你跟一個又一個的派對常客互動。雖然有些人很有趣，但其他人可能很快變得反覆無常。因為知覺受到混淆，所以其他派對常客對於你認為完全是幻想的情境，出現情緒化的反應。
最重要的，顯然派對裡沒有人知道這一切只是夢境。
然後你突然想到，這不是新的派對，而是你以前參加過的派對。當時你也跟他們一樣。你經歷各種程度的醉酒，行為表現跟現在周遭的人沒什麼不同。你們透過酒精形成的煙霧交談，一起在派對中做些傻事，同時讓醉醺醺的酒意引導你的行動。
最後顯然派對裡沒有人知道你現在是清醒的。他們認為你還在醉著，就跟他們一樣。他們看不見你的道路，只看見自己的路；他們看到的只是扭曲的你，被酒精混亂的心靈所投射出來的你，而不是真實的你；他們也完全沒察覺到，酒精的真實效果正在影響他們。每個人都迷失在自己的派對夢境當中。他們看不清自己的互動早已不受自己控制。因此他們一再地試圖慫恿你加入這場派對鬧劇，加入他們扭曲的知覺所創造的愚蠢傻事。
你會怎麼做呢？

IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT that you are in a dream.
In this dream, you find yourself at a huge party with thousands of people, where you are the only sober person and everyone else is drunk. The other partygoers are in varying states of intoxication. A few people have had just one or two drinks and are only tipsy; most fall into the realm of general drunkenness; and a handful are so drunk that they are making spectacles of themselves in all sorts of colorful ways. They may even have blacked out, as their actions seem completely out of their control.
Some of the people at this party are your friends and family, some are acquaintances, but most you don't know. You try to talk to a few people, but you quickly realize that their intoxication level has altered their ability to communicate clearly; it has clouded their viewpoint. You also notice that each person is experiencing the party differently, depending on his or her degree of drunkenness, and your interactions change with every drink they consume.
The partygoers range from loud, outgoing, and merry, to shy, quiet, and sullen. As the party rages on, you watch everyone alternate between the two ends of the spectrum: from happy to sad, excited to apathetic. They fight and make up, argue, embrace, and argue again, and you watch as this type of odd behavior repeats itself endlessly in cycles throughout the night. You realize that even though they are drunk, it's not the booze they crave more of, but rather the drama of the party. As the night continues, your interactions with the partygoers vary from person to person. While some are enjoyable, others have the potential to quickly turn volatile. Since their perception is clouded, the other partygoers react emotionally to situations that you can see are pure fantasy. For some of them, the dream has become a nightmare. Most important of all, it's clear that no one at this party knows this is all just a dream.
Then it occurs to you that this is not a new party, but one you've attended before. At one point you were just like them. You went through all the varying degrees of drunkenness, behaving exactly as those around you are now. You conversed through the fog of booze, joined the folly of the party, and let the intoxication guide your actions.
Finally, it's clear that no one there realizes you are now sober. They think you are still drunk, just like them. They do not see your path, only their own. They view you only as a distortion, projected by their alcohol-addled minds, not as you actually are. They are also completely unaware of the true effect the liquor is having on them. Each is lost in his or her own dream of the party. They do not see how their interactions are no longer under their control. As a result, they continually try to entice you to join the drama of the party, to join the folly that their distorted perception has created.
What will you do?
