Sueños (II)

"He's dreaming now," said Tweedledee: "and what do you think he's dreaming about?"
Alice said "Nobody can guess that."
"Why, about you!" Tweedledee exclaimed, clapping his hands triumphantly. "And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?"
"Where I am now, of course," said Alice.
"Not you!" Tweedledee retorted contemptuously. "You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream!"
"If that there King was to wake," added Tweedledum, "you'd go out -- bang! -- just like a candle!"

La despojada versión del maestro J. L. Borges
El Sueño del Rey
-Ahora está soñando. ¿Con quién sueña? ¿Lo sabes?
-Nadie sabe.
-Sueña contigo. Y si dejara de soñar ¿qué sería de ti?
-No lo sé.
-Desaparecerás. Eres una figura de un sueño. Si se despierta ese rey te apagarías como una vela.
