This is also a very good metaphor for our normal lives, right? Perhaps that's the purpose of experiencing intense phenomena while meditating. It's easier to detach ourselves from something in a dream or meditation because we know, generally, that it's irrelevant to our daily, external lives. This is obviously more often true in dreams than in meditation, but you should get my point. But really we should be doing the same with our waking "reality"!
