That's an awesome way of thinking about it IMO. There are many paths that can take us there, but the key element is being able to release the ego perspective at some point. The ego can take us as far as solipsism, but that's where it gets stuck.
Letting go of our ego identities can be both terrifying and fascinating at the same time, but when that part of the dream story starts to unfold, it's really hard not to turn the next page, if for no other reason that sheer curiosity.
