You continue ever onward until there is nothing, only you. The concepts that had filled your mind - the stepping stones towards the Screaming Zahir, are all gone. First there is a smoky void, then just a haze, then you emerge from an ocean that you did not even realise you were inhabiting. You gasp out of habit, but you do not need to breathe here.

It crosses your mind that you could be in the physical again. Have you spent so long exploring the mind, that the land where you once stood has been drowned by waters?

Is this a dream? Have you been here before?
